“We’re interested in talking to anybody who was in or around the park on Ridgemore Road on Thursday evening and from anybody who may have any information that could help with our investigation.
“Specially trained officers have been providing support to the victim and her family and the public will see an increased police presence in the park area as we seek to provide reassurance.”
