Attributable to Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Greene, Hamilton CIB:
Police are investigating a sexual assault in Hamilton in which the offender has entered a private address in the early hours of the morning.
A male unknown to the victim entered a house on a street south of the Dinsdale shopping centre about 1:45am on Saturday 1 September.
He has then sexually assaulted the female victim as she was asleep in her bed.
The male has then run from the address.
Attending Police, with the assistance of a Police dog unit, were unable to locate the male.
The male is described as wearing a white or tan-coloured t-shirt, about 6 foot tall, with wide shoulders, and wearing a beanie. It’s possible he may have had a bicycle.
This was a frightening experience for the victim, who is being supported by Police.
