A woman was assaulted and raped in a terrifying ordeal after returning from an evening out to find three men in her home.

Police said the victim, in her 30s, was attacked by one of the intruders at her home in Woodford Green before the trio fled the scene with her jewellery.

She was later taken to hospital for treatment for shock after the horrific incident, which happened in the early hours of July 15.

Detectives investigating the rape and aggravated burglary have now released an e-fit of a man they wish to trace.

The man believed to have carried out the rape was described as a dark-skinned black man with small vertical tribal marks on both cheeks, who aged in his late 40s.

He had short black hair and was believed to speak a dialect from Nigeria called Yoruba.

At the time of the attack he was wearing a grey short-sleeved t-shirt with a picture of a large black head or face on the front, with blue jeans, big black boots, and black gloves.

The other men were described as a black man in his late 20s with short curly hair and glasses, and a white man with black parted hair.
