Police investigating the rape of a teenage girl are trying to trace a busker they have named as a suspect.
Thomas Anthony Fleet, 22, is thought to be living rough in southern England and making money on the street playing an acoustic guitar and a penny whistle.
West Mercia Police say Mr Fleet has links to London, Surrey, Wiltshire, Dorset, Avon and Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and south Wales.
The rape happened at a house in a Shropshire village last October.
An appeal was made on the BBC Crimewatch programme on Tuesday night.
Distinctive rucksack Det Insp Sarah Wagstaff said: "We believe he is living rough, travelling around the country and using a cover story that he is hiding from police over a burglary.
"We believe he is making his way around by various means, using public transport, hitch-hiking and by foot, raising money through busking, playing an acoustic guitar and a penny whistle."
Mr Fleet is described as white, 5ft 4in tall with straight brown hair.
Police think he could be carrying a distinctive Peter Storm 75-litre green and black rucksack.
