A 15-year-old girl was raped in an underpass in Romford late on June 22, prompting the Metropolitan Police to promise an increased presence in the area. The victim is currently receiving specialist treatment, and police have launched an investigation with no arrests made yet. Local councilor David Taylor expressed concern over community safety and has reached out to police for a public meeting. The incident has heightened fears among residents, particularly women, regarding personal safety in the area.
I am devastated by the news, which will leave many women feeling afraid to walk alone in our town and I pray for justice for the woman assaulted.
We understand the concern this has caused in the community and people can expect to see an increased police presence in the area.
