Detectives investigating a serious sexual assault in Scunthorpe would like to speak two people they believe are witnesses after they reviewed CCTV in the area.
At around 3:30am on Tuesday 23 August, it is reported that a woman was approached by a man near to woodland on Phoenix Parkway, Scunthorpe.
Police think the two people they wish to speak to may have unknowingly seen the suspect - one of them was a man riding a stand up scooter.
Detective Chief Inspector Rebecca Dickinson said:
“We have been following up several lines of enquiry, and from a review of CCTV in the area we have identified two people who we believe may have unknowingly seen the suspect.
“At around 3:35am, we can see a man riding a stand-up scooter. He is travelling south on Park Farm Road, away from Foxhills Industrial Estate, towards Phoenix Parkway.
“A few minutes later, at 3:44am, a man walks north on Park Farm Road, heading into the industrial estate from Phoenix Parkway.
“I would like to reiterate that we consider these men to be potential witnesses and would ask them to come forward to help us with our investigation into this dreadful incident.
“If either of these men are you, we would ask you to contact us to discuss what you may have seen – even if you think it’s probably irrelevant. You can contact us on 101 quoting log 89 of 23 August."
