Detective Inspector Chris Carlin, said: “Enquiries are in the very early stages to establish what has taken place. I would appeal to anyone who was in Newsham Park who may have seen the incident, or who witnessed anyone acting suspiciously to come forward. I would also ask people who live in the area, or who driving by Newsham Park near to the Orphan Drive entrance, to check dashcam or CCTV footage just in case they may have captured something which may be vital to the case.”
