Update on Harrogate rape appeal

Following an earlier appeal on Friday evening (19 May) to trace two potential witnesses in support of an investigation into the rape of a woman in Harrogate, we can confirm that both women have now come forward.

We have removed the appeal and we ask that the CCTV images are taken off websites and social media as soon as possible.

To our followers, we thank you once again for the amazing support you provide to our appeals.

It’s greatly appreciated by us all.
