Police are investigating the third and fourth rapes reported in less than a week, both occurring within 12 hours of each other. <\/P><\/p>\n
The first was reported by a 24-year-old Canadian woman who said she was raped at a cay near Paradise Island Friday afternoon. <\/P><\/p>\n
Police reports say that around 5.15pm the woman was with two males on a jet ski. <\/P><\/p>\n
She reported that hey took her somewhere near a cay off Paradise Island where, she said, one of the men raped her and the other performed another sexual act. <\/P><\/p>\n
The men then took her back to shore. <\/P><\/p>\n
“We’re investigating this matter and at present, we have a 17-year-old male from, the St Andrew’s Beach Estates area,” said Marvin Dames, assistant superintendent of police. “He is currently assisting us with out investigations and a second individual is being sought.” <\/P><\/p>\n
About 12 hours later, a 27-year-old woman was raped at her home on Strachan’s Alley off Kemp Road. <\/P><\/p>\n
According to police reports around 5.30am Saturday, three men with a piece of cloth hiding their faces entered the woman’s home, accosted her and then forced the woman to have sex with them. <\/P><\/p>\n
Before leaving, the men tied up the woman’s 23-year-old brother and robbed him of an unknown amount of money. <\/P><\/p>\n
Police say there was no forced entry into the home, so it is unclear how the men got into the house. <\/P><\/p>\n
Investigations are ongoing.<\/P><\/p>\n
