“We would like to reassure everyone that we have a dedicated team of officers and staff who continue to work on this investigation across various fronts, including interviewing potential witnesses, carrying out house-to-house inquiries, seeking forensic opportunities and checking CCTV footage.

“However, while we would also like to thank the community for their support, in particularly those who have contacted us with information which has helped with our investigation so far, we are still appealing for help.

“We would particularly like to hear from anyone who either lives, owns a business or were driving through this area of Kettering, and can provide CCTV, doorbell, or dash-cam footage from 6.30pm and 7.30pm on Friday, January 10.

“However small or insignificant you believe the information is, if you have not already done so, please get in touch as a matter of urgency. Any little detail may help us piece together what happened around the time of the attack in Spring Rise park.”

Anyone who was in the area or has any information should call 101, quoting incident number 25000018864.
