A gang of four North Africans
who raped a Polish tourist and a transsexual prostitute on
Friday had tried on August 12 to attack a couple from Varese
north of Milan but the pair managed to escape, police said
Tuesday.
The pair robbed the couple by threatening them with a broken
bottle before trying to rape the woman who fled with her
boyfriend, police said.
In the latest case the gang badly beat up the Polish
tourist's boyfriend before raping her, police said.
A task force has been set up with help from Rome and
identikits have been drawn up in the search for the four,
believed to have come from the Maghreb.
