CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Law enforcement tells WBTV that six suspected illegal immigrants from the Rock Hill area allegedly gang raped a woman on the North Carolina coast.
Three suspects have been caught in and around Rock Hill; three are still on the loose and it's feared they've escaped to Mexico.
The alleged rape happened January 6th in Sunset Beach, a North Carolina coastal town not too far from the South Carolina border.
An officer from the area says a 21 year old woman had gotten into an argument with someone she was staying with. She began walking toward the nearby town of Calabash.
At the Continental Motel she came in contact with the suspects and asked them for a ride. We're told they agreed but got her to walk upstairs with them first. They then allegedly raped her for six hours.
Although the men live in the Rock Hill area, the officer tells us they were in Sunset Beach working a construction job.
Among those arrested back in the Rock Hill area are Genaro Castillo Solis and Raymundo Romero Cruz. Wiferdo Avarado was arrested at a Rock Hill Days Inn.
The officer says the three men still on the run may have run to Mexico. We're told one of them has a wife who is still in the Rock Hill area.
