The search continues for a bogus policeman alleged to have kidnapped three 21-year-old women at gunpoint in the Lansdowne area and then to have drugged and raped two of them.
The women were on their way home from a Lansdowne night club in November when the impostor stopped them.
The police Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences Unit has released an identikit of the man.
According to police spokesperson Billy Jones, the women have described the man as being in his early 40s, about 1.75 metres tall, of medium build, and having short black hair and a dark complexion.
At the time of the attack, he was wearing a black T-shirt, green cargo pants, black hiking boots and square spectacles.

The three women said they were driving from Wynberg to Athlone early on November 11 when they were forced off the road by a white sedan with a blue light on the dashboard.
They said the man produced an identity card similar to that carried by police and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol.
He accused one of the women of drunken driving and instructed the trio to abandon their vehicle and accompany him to the police station.
He is alleged to have driven them to the Du Toitskloof Mountains and forced two of them to swallow pills and tied all three up. The third woman told him she was pregnant and did not swallow the pills.
The man allegedly raped two of the women and left the trio in the mountains, where a cyclist found them in the morning.
