At the moment our enquiries are on-going but if you do have any information I would strongly urge you to come forward. Uniformed officers will be patrolling the area during the evenings, to provide reassurance to the local community and to answer any questions or concerns people may have. The incident occurred in Greenmore Lane, which has no street lighting, it was extremely dark and I would advise that the community use routes that are well lit during the autumn and winter months.
