A second arrest has been made in Perry Barr after two women were attacked early Saturday morning, prompting a police investigation.
Police got a call about a rape near the One Stop Shopping Centre around 1:50 AM. Not long after, they heard about another assault on Aldridge Road.
They quickly closed off both areas and started a big investigation. Today, they announced that they arrested a 21-year-old man in connection with the case.
This guy was taken into custody from a place in Birmingham. Just yesterday, they had arrested a 22-year-old, but he’s been released on bail while they keep digging into the details.
Detectives are still figuring out if the two incidents are connected. They’re asking anyone with information to come forward.
If you have any dashcam or phone footage, they really want to see it. You can reach out to them through live chat or by calling 101.
And if you or someone you know has been affected by this, there’s help available. They’re encouraging people to reach out for support.
