“Stranger incidents of this nature are rare and we are committed to ensuring a thorough investigation whilst supporting the victim throughout the process.
“I would ask people who were in the area in the early hours of Sunday 31 October to review any dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage and contact us if they have captured images that will assist us in our enquiries.
“Alternatively, if anyone witnessed anything suspicious or has any information about the incident, please call the witness appeal line.”
