Reward offered for information on Oldbury rape

We're announcing a reward of up to £20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the rape of a woman in Oldbury, West Midlands.

The victim, a woman in her 20s, was attacked in the Tame Road area of Oldbury on Tuesday 9 September just before 8.30am.

We're appealing for information from anyone who was in the area who may have seen two white men around the time of 8.30am.
