Fresh appeal after teenager sexually assaulted in Newport
Detectives are issuing a fresh appeal for witnesses after a teenager was sexually assaulted in Newport.
The assault took place a week ago on May 1, between 1.20am and 1.40am.
A member of the public raised the alarm after a teenage woman was discovered in a distressed state in Audley Road.
Officers have been conducting house to house enquiries, examining CCTV footage and progressing forensic investigations.
Detective Inspector Rob Mountford said: "We are appealing to the public for information on what is seven days since the assault took place.
"The area was busy at the time, being the night before a bank holiday and we know that many people would have been on a night out, or working in the town.
"We continue to appeal to people working or travelling in the Audley Road area. We would particularly like to hear from anyone in the area of the Barley Mow pub or Waitrose car park. Do you remember seeing anything suspicious? Anyone who saw anything, no matter how insignificant they think it may be, please get in touch as the information could be vital."
If you have any information call 101 quoting reference 45s of May 1, 2017.
