Police release man in his 50s after sexual assault is reported at Long Eaton property

A man in his 50s has been released on police bail after an incident at an address in College Street, Long Eaton on Tuesday 11th September.

Inquiries are ongoing into a report that a serious sexual assault took place at the address.

Inspector Matt Ladd, who leads the policing team in Long Eaton, said: “I understand that incidents such as this can cause alarm, however, I want to reassure the community that this is an isolated incident and the individuals are known to one another. 

“With that being said, I understand that this has had a real impact on those living in the area and extra patrols are being put in place to give a visible policing presence that locals can speak to should they have concerns.
