Police appeal for information on an incident in Palmer Park at about midday on Saturday, February 21

I got this appeal for information on an incident in Palmer Park. See below:

Thames Valley Police is appealing for information after an allegation of sexual assault in Reading.

The victim, a 25-year-old woman, entered Palmer Park from the London Road entrance at about midday on Saturday (21/2).

She was then approached by three men, who had been sitting in a sheltered seating area near the playground.

The victim is unsure exactly what happened next but she was later at a property near the Madejski Stadium in south Reading.

She alleges that she was sexually assaulted at this address.

The first offender is black, in his late thirties to early forties, muscular and clean shaven.

The second offender is black, in his late thirties to early forties, slim with short hair.

The third offender is Asian in his late thirties to early forties, of medium build, with black spiky hair and a goatee beard.

Investigating officer, Det Sgt Anthony Jenkins of Force CID said: “I would appeal to anyone who saw a woman with three men in the vicinity of Palmer Park on Saturday afternoon, or saw three men together matching the descriptions in the park to contact police immediately via 101.
