Police patrols are to be increased in the Bogs Lane area of Harrogate as officers investigate reports a woman was sexually assaulted and robber.
It's believed to have happened on Wednesday night (February 15), when a woman was allegedly approached by a man who stole her jacket and mobile phone and sexually assaulted her.
The suspect is described as tall and was wearing dark coloured clothing including black jogging trousers, a black puffer jacket, brown boots and had a large ring on his finger.
