Since the reports proactive, high visibility patrols have been stepped up in the area and are continuing for the coming days.
DCI Matt Croome, who is leading the investigation, said: “Over the past week a team of detectives have been investigating a series of incidents in the Stockbrook area of the city.
“All the incidents, two of which involved women reporting being sexually assaulted, have occurred in the hours of darkness and increased patrols are taking place in and around the area.
“There is understandable concern as a result of the incidents, however, I want to reassure those who live, work and visit Stockbrook, as well as the wider city centre area, that this is being taken extremely seriously by the force, with a team dedicated to this investigation in place.
“I would urge anyone who has not already reported any concerns or incidents that may have happened in the Stockbrook area to come forward as a matter of urgency.
“And I would also ask anyone who feels unsafe calls 999 immediately. This will ensure your safety and give officers the very best chance of securing vital evidence and making timely arrests.”
Anyone who has information about any of the incidents, and has not already spoken to the force, is asked to contact Derbyshire police using any of the below methods, including reference 21*687194:
