A mother and her daughter suffered a nasty ordeal in between Marham Drive and Bodiam Avenue in Kingsway yesterday. What makes it worse is that it was in the middle of the day, this is a horrific offence, regardless of where it happened, and as a community, we need to pull together as a community to help the police apprehend this individual!
