    North Yorkshire Police has said it is stepping-up patrols in a Harrogate suburb after a woman was robbed and sexually assaulted last night.

    The woman was attacked while walking in the Bogs Lane area, which is off Knaresborough Road.

    She sustained facial injuries and is receiving support from specially trained officers.

    A police statement today said:

    "It happened at around 8.30pm when the victim was approached by a man on a lane near to the tennis field who stole her jacket and mobile phone and sexually assaulted her.
    "The suspect is described as tall and was wearing dark coloured clothing including black jogging trousers, a black puffa jacket, brown boots and had a large ring on his finger. Following the assault he ran off in the direction of Starbeck High Street."


    The statement added officers were "carrying out extensive enquiries including CCTV and house-to-house enquiries". It added people may see an increased police presence in the Bogs Lane area.

    Police are also appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and witnessed the incident or saw anything suspicious people to contact them.



    They urged anyone who lives in Bogs Lane, Allotment Gardens, Hillbank View or the approaches to Bogs Lane who has doorbell or private CCTV cameras that may have captured the suspect or the incident to get in touch.

    Dial 101 and ask for Harrogate CID, quoting reference number 12230028839.

    If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can pass information to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
