AN E-FIT of one of the masked men wanted for questioning after a sexual assault in Cricklewood has been released by police.

Detectives in Brent have sent out the image in the hope of gathering information into the attack on October 24.

Police said four men wearing masks and gloves broke into the address in Oxgate Lane at about 4.45am.

A 19-year-old woman woke up to find one of the men on top of her, pinning her down, while the other three suspects searched the room.

The woman was subjected to a violent sexual assault during the raid, police added.

The suspects then stole a quantity of cash and valuable property before running off towards Coles Green Road.

Officers said damage was found to the letter box, which they believe may have been tampered with to break into the property.

PC Savi Arora, an officer in case, said: "This crime involved the suspects using gratuitous and unnecessary violence against the victim and taking the property.”

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Brent Police in confidence on 0208 733 2650 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
