Wiltshire Police believe no crime was committed after a detailed investigation into an alleged sexual assault on Saturday.

A spokesperson for Warminster’s policing team said: “Following detailed enquiries, including viewing extensive CCTV footage and further conversations with the woman, we now do not believe a crime was committed.”

Detective Inspector Tom Straker, from Wiltshire Police, said: “We know that the report of this incident understandably caused a huge amount of concern amongst the local community and I hope this update will provide some reassurance.
