West Yorkshire Police are appealing for witnesses following a sexual assault reported in the village of Scholes last night.
The incident took place on Old Popplewell Lane, and officers are now asking anyone who was in the area at the time to come forward with information that could help their investigation.
Scholes is a small village in the Kirklees district of West Yorkshire, and incidents of this nature have understandably raised concern among local residents. Police have not yet released details about the victim or a suspect, but the appeal suggests they believe members of the public may have seen something relevant.
Anyone who was in the Old Popplewell Lane area last night and noticed anything suspicious is being urged to get in touch with West Yorkshire Police directly. Even small details that might seem insignificant could prove valuable to investigators piecing together exactly what happened.
If you have information, you can contact West Yorkshire Police through their official website or by calling 101. Alternatively, information can be passed on anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
