Police have captured the fifth suspect wanted in Thursday’s gang rape of an 18-year-old girl in Osborn Playground.
Authorities picked up the 17-year-old this morning at Tilden High School.
Police are still searching for the gun and are expected to obtain a search warrant for the suspects residence on Rockaway Parkway in East New York.
All five of the suspects are expected to be moved from Brooklyn's SVU headquarters on Washington Avenue momentary to Brooklyn Supreme Court where they will be arraigned.
All of the playground's gates remain unlocked by the Parks Department at night even after last week's attack.
Four of the suspects were in custody by Sunday after police released surveillance video of the group entering a nearby bodega before Thursday's attack.
The woman was in Osborn Playground, near Osborn Street and Hegeman Avenue with her father when they were approached by five men, one brandished a gun. The group told her father to get the F**k out of there.
The woman said that she was grabbed by the men near the handball courts. All five of the assailants raped her according to police.
The victim’s father flagged down a patrol car.
