Charity offers £5k reward to trace man after rape

A reward of up to £5,000 is being offered for information that leads to the location of a man wanted in connection with a reported rape and assault.

Police are searching for Adrian Lewicki, 31, who is believed to have connections to Nuneaton and Coventry, as well as Morecambe in Lancashire.

It follows a report made to police that a woman had been raped and assaulted in a flat in Nuneaton on the night of 14 June.

The independent charity Crimestoppers, which is separate from the police, is urging anyone who may know his whereabouts to come forward anonymously.

Crimestoppers calls are never recorded, no personal details are taken, and information is passed on without anyone knowing who stepped forward, including staff at Crimestoppers.

Alan Edwards, regional manager for the West Midlands at Crimestoppers, said: "We understand that speaking up can feel like a big step, especially in cases of this nature.

"That's why Crimestoppers exists, to give people a safe and secure way to share what they know, without ever having to give their name or speak to the police.

"Someone out there may have seen or heard something that could help locate Adrian Lewicki.

"No piece of information is too small, and your voice could make a real difference. Our charity is here purely to help keep people safe."
