A woman abducted by two men in Decatur in the early morning hours Aug. 2 was driven to a secluded location on Trickum Creek Road in Tyrone where she was raped. The woman later escaped and made her way to a residence from which police were notified. The unidentified woman told officers she had been approached by two black males in a PT Cruiser at a Decatur gas station and told to get into the vehicle, said Lt. Steve Lafferty. The woman said she was driven to an area of Trickum Creek Road and was raped by both men and told repeatedly that they would kill her, Lafferty said. Trickum Creek Road is a dirt road connecting Palmetto Road to Mann Road. The woman told officers she managed to escape and was able to make her way through a wooded area to Southhampton subdivision, where she summoned help from a resident, Lafferty said. Anyone with information relating to this crime is asked to contact Tyrone Police at (770) 487-4732. login to post comments |
