Arrest made in connection with A38 sexual assault

An arrest has been made in connection with a sexual assault on the A38 near Norton last week.

A 25-year-old man from Worcester was arrested on Saturday (June 25) on suspicion of rape.

Police had received a report that a woman had been sexually assaulted between 5pm and 6pm last Monday (June 20).

The incident happened in the vicinity of a layby, which is near the New Dawn Inn pub, on Tewkesbury Road in Gloucester.

The man who was arrested has since been released on police bail with conditions while the investigation continues.

Investigating officers remain keen to hear from anyone who was travelling along the A38 in Norton and witnessed a dark coloured or black car parked in a layby.

They are also particularly keen to hear from anyone who travelled on the road and has dashcam footage.

Anyone with information is asked to complete the online form, quoting incident 378 of June 20.

You can also call police on 101 or give information anonymously to independent crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.
