Witness appeal following sexual assault in Farnborough

Officers investigating a report of sexual assault in Farnborough would like to speak to three potential witnesses who may have vital information.

It was reported that at 5.30pm on Sunday 18 August, a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by a boy in an alleyway between Stubbs Moor Road and Fernhill Road.

The girl was inappropriately touched over her clothing. During the incident, three people, believed to be teenagers, appeared from the Fernhill Road side and the boy fled the scene. The teenagers supported the girl after the incident.

The girl and her family are being supported by officers.
