We are appealing for information following reports a woman was sexually assaulted in Alvaston.
The victim was walking along Crewton Way towards the junction of Radford Street between around 11.30pm (Tuesday 27 February) and 12.15am (Wednesday 28 February).
She was approached and pulled into a footpath that runs between Crewton Way and Griffin Close, where she reported being sexually assaulted.
Officers are investigating and we are particularly keen to speak to two men who were seen getting out of a small red car on Crewton Way.
We would also like to trace the driver, who drove off shortly before the incident. They may have information which could help with our enquiries.
The men are described as being white and wearing dark clothing with their hoods up. One of the men is said to be tall and well built, and the other skinny.
Residents in the area will see an increased police presence and ongoing pro-active patrols are taking place in and around the area. If you have any concerns, then please speak to our officers.
We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area at time, would like to identify the men and the car and would appeal to any drivers who were in the area at the time and may have dashcam footage that could help.
If you have any information, please contact us on the details below with reference 24000119858:
