More than 400 people have been questioned by police investigating a sexual assault in Moray.

It happened in Elgin on Wednesday, July 27, between 10 and 10.30pm, near the junction with Meadow Crescent and Millar Street.

Detectives are looking for a bald, slim man - possibly in his 30s - but they have yet to make an arrest.

Detective Chief Inspector Colin Morrans told MFR News: "More than 400-people have been interviewed as part of house-to-house and other enquiries and this work has enabled us to better understand the circumstances and help us ensure every line of enquiry has been explored.

"In addition, several members of the public have come forward to provide information and I would like to take this opportunity once again to thank them for their help. "While the male involved in this case has not yet been identified, we remain hopeful this person will be traced and a positive conclusion will be reached.

"I am appealing to the community to help us establish who he is.

"Did you see anything that evening you thought seemed suspicious or do you know of anyone who has been acting in an odd manner since?

"Do you know of anyone matching the description provided but have not yet come forward?

"Even if you think your information might be insignificant, I would respectfully ask you to let us make that assessment and come forward.

"We will continue to act on any information provided to us in relation to this case and can assure you that all lines of enquiry will be taken seriously.

"We have always treated this as an isolated case and continue to regard it as such.

"Incidents of this nature are extremely rare and Police Scotland takes reports of such crimes extremely seriously."
