POLICE SEEKING TEENS WHO RAPED WOMAN IN ROANOKE CEMETERY

A 24-year-old Roanoke woman was raped by two teen-agers in a cemetery off Salem Turnpike Northwest, police said today.

The woman told police she was walking in the 3000 block of Salem Turnpike about 1 a.m. Friday when two men grabbed her and forced her into a cemetery.

Both teen-agers held the woman to the ground as she was raped by one of the youths, police said.

The teen-agers then fled toward Melrose Avenue. The woman, who is from a Northwest apartment complex, was treated at a local hospital.

The youths were described as being in their late teens. An investigation is continuing.
