AN EVOFIT of a man being hunted in connection with the rape of a woman in Colne has been released by police.
A computer-generated image of a distinctive tattoo on the man’s arm has also been released.
The 35-year-old woman was attacked by a man smoking a cigarette while on her way home from a night out at the rear of Exchange Street and Blascomy Way.
The incident happened between 9.40pm and 10.15pm on Saturday, August 17.
A 35-year-old man from Colne was arrested on suspicion of rape in August but was released with no further action.

“People with information can call police on 01706 237352, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
