Lincolnshire Police have confirmed their attendance visible on a Boston street is in connection to a report of a sexual assault in the Liquorpond Street area.
The incident is reported to have happened at around 3.30am this morning (Wednesday, 18 June) and included inappropriate touching. Officers were immediately deployed but the man had left the area, and enquiries are ongoing to identify him.
The man is reported to have been on an e-bike and was wearing dark clothing. If you were in or around that area and have dashcam and mobile phone footage which may have captured anyone matching that description, the force would like to hear from you. The timeframe we are interested in is between 3.30am and 4am.
There will be a heavy policing presence in the area whilst they carry out initial enquiries, which is a normal part of their investigation.
This will include speaking with local residents and businesses, viewing CCTV footage, interviewing potential witnesses, alongside other forensic enquiries.
The force have said they are doing everything they can to understand exactly what happened, and the circumstances of the incident.
There were rumours circulating on social media that a body had been found in that same location, this is not true, and the force don’t know how that rumour started, but have ask it’s not repeated as misinformation does not help their officers investigate or police the town.
If you can help, please contact DS Paul Smith on paul.smith@lincs.police.uk quoting incident number 32 of 18 June.
You can also call 101 and ask for the Duty Sergeant in East PVP, quoting the same incident number.
