TODAY a number of York businesses, including the publishers of this newspaper, have joined with the Crimestoppers Trust to put up a £2,000 reward for the capture of the "hoodie rapist".
Most of us are motivated to help the police by nothing more than a desire to do the right thing. But, sadly, not all. It may be that someone out there has information, and their reluctance to come forward could be overcome by the lure of a cash dividend.
Every effort must be made to capture this vicious and dangerous criminal. While he remains at large, his victim's anguish is increased and no woman will feel safe. If anyone can help take this man off our streets, please call the police now.
