A significant police manhunt is currently in progress following the reported rape of a 15-year-old girl in Romford's underpass. The traumatic event took place on June 22, close to The Brewery shopping centre, specifically on St Edwards Way, shortly before 11:35 PM. Law enforcement received notification of the incident just moments later and dispatched officers to assist the victim, who is now receiving care from specialized personnel within the Metropolitan Police.
Forensic teams have been deployed to the scene, and several areas of the underpass have been cordoned off to facilitate their investigation. A spokesperson from the Metropolitan Police confirmed that they were alerted to the situation at 11:36 PM on June 22, when officers arrived to help the young girl. Although there have been no arrests thus far, the police acknowledge the level of concern this incident has raised within the community and have indicated that residents should expect to see an enhanced police presence in the area moving forward. The authorities are encouraging anyone who may possess relevant information to reach out to them for further investigation.
