Police want to trace dog walker after alleged Shirebrook assault
Detectives investigating an alleged assault in a field off Main Street in Shirebrook are appealing to trace a dog walker who was in the area at the time.
It’s believed they may have entered the park shortly before the victim, a 49-year-old woman, at around 7.45pm on Thursday, July 1.
Officers have no reason to suspect they are involved, but they may be a valuable witness and could help with enquiries.
The police have released a CCTV image of this person in the hope it might jog someone’s memory and encourage them to come forward.
If you were walking your dog in the area around the time, and you think this could be you, or if you recognise the person in the image, please contact the police.Anyone with information is asked to contact Derbyshire Police by calling 101 and quoting reference 21*367401.
