A woman has reported been attacked while walking home in Shoreham. Police said the 21-year-old victim was walking home when she was raped by a man in an alleyway off Middle Road at around 2.30am on Sunday (March, 8). DC Hugh Charles said: "Although this investigation is at an early stage we are currently following specific lines of enquiry and residents in this area will notice police activity, including patrolling officers who are also paying extra attention to the area. "The victim is receiving support from specially trained officers and at present this appears to be an isolated incident, not part of any recent series of crimes of any kind. "We also remind local people to continue to take common sense precautions to stay safe when out and about, and to report anything suspicious to us." Anyone with information is asked to contact 101, quoting Operation Deacon.
