*UPDATE Police have found the flyscreen that had been removed but are still looking for her pyjama top
Police have made an urgent appeal for information after a “heinous” sexual assault on a seven-year-old Perth girl in her own bed on Boxing Day.
Child Abuse Squad detectives are investigating the incident, which allegedly took place between 8pm on Sunday and 9am on Monday at the young girl’s home in Ellenbrook, about 30km north-east of Perth.
WA Police Sex Crime Division Inspector Hamish McKenzie told reporters on Tuesday the little girl went to bed on Sunday and woke to tell her father, who then reported the alleged assault to police.
He said police believe a male offender unknown to the victim entered the house in that period.
Mounted police, forensic officers and drone operators are currently searching an area of Ellenbrook between Tonkin Highway, The Broadway and The Promenade for items that may assist the investigation, including a white window fly screen and a girl’s blue pyjama top that are missing from the home.
Insp McKenzie said police believed the top — which depicts a festive gingerbread man and the slogan “oh snap” — was taken from the family home, but did not confirm whether the little girl was wearing it when she went to bed.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or make a report online.
