Police say the alleged offender was driving an older model Holden or Ford sedan when he stopped alongside the victim, forcing her into the back seat. She was driven for a short time before being taken inside a house, but managed to escape.

“The house is described as a single-storey brick home with a wooden front door and windows either side,” ACT Police said.

“One of the windows had a slightly torn curtain believed to be yellow in colour. It has a concrete driveway down the left side of the block which leads to a brown, wooden gate leading to the backyard. The backyard has knee-length grass, several dumped cars and washing machines.”

“The offender is described as aged in his late 20s, about 5’10”-6’ tall (178-183cm), stocky build, slightly tanned skin, and a beard. He was wearing a black, hooded jumper and blue Adidas tracksuit pants with white stripes down the side.”

Witnesses who saw the incident or the girl walking along pathways in Chisholm, Richardson near the Calwell shops or in Theodore are urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 00. Information can be provided anonymously.
