Teenager grabbed and raped in woods – offender caught within two hours
A rapist who was caught by police within two hours of committing the offence in a Lincolnshire town has been caged by a court.
Sergejs Susorovs, 26, was on Monday, June 20 to five years and four months in prison for the rape of a woman in Boston.
Lincoln Crown Court was told that the crime happened on Wednesday, May 18 at around 3pm.
Susorovs’ victim, a 19-year-old woman, was walking on London Road when Susorovs grabbed her and raped her in a nearby wooded area.
But, within two hours of the incident report, officers had arrested Susorovs on suspicion of the offence.
Detective Inspector Simon Lovett, head of the Lincolnshire Police Emerald team which investigates sex attacks, paid tribute to the victim and the officers involved in the police response.
“The victim has shown incredible strength from the beginning,” DI Lovett said.
“She was able to give a detailed description of Susorovs, which was crucial.
“Officers were sent to the area where they quickly identified the scene and began a search for the offender.
“Susorovs was very quickly identified and apprehended after he made an attempt to flee from officers.”
