Witness call by sex attack police

Police investigating a serious sex assault on a 12-year-old girl want to speak to a woman with two children who was in the area at the time.

The girl was on the old railway line in Haverhill, Suffolk, when she was pulled into bushes and sexually assaulted on the afternoon of 24 July.

Police also want to trace three teenage boys dressed in jeans and trainers.

Det Insp Martin Wright, from Suffolk Police, said: "We still need to trace these other people the girl passed."

Police want to speak to a woman with brown, straight shoulder-length hair, of slim build who was possibly on a bike.

Appeal for information

She was with a boy riding a red bike and a girl on a pink bike with stabilisers.

Det Insp Wright said he also want to speak to three boys aged 14 to 15, who were casually dressed in jeans and trainers.

"One of these males had spiky brown hair and was wearing a dark blue hooded top and trainers.

"If you are one of these people or perhaps they are your children, please get in touch, whether you or they think they saw anything of significance or not.

"And if you're not one of these people, but you were using the old railway line that afternoon and haven't yet spoken to a police officer, I would urge you to call us.

"Also, do you know someone who has been acting out of character since Thursday 24 July, or perhaps know someone was has changed their appearance?

"If anyone knows anything which may assist this inquiry, please speak to an officer, visit the station, or call us."
