A team of specialist police officers have carried out a detailed search at the scene of a sex attack in Ashford, in the hunt for evidence.

The officers painstakingly searched through grass and in woodland where a 23-year-old woman out walking her dog was sexually assaulted last Friday afternoon.

Officers spent several hours this morning scouring the scene around the footpath off Bucksford Lane, opposite Singleton lake.

Detectives say they are not linking the attack to two others committed by a “fat” pervert last year – one on a dog walker in Knights Park, and another on a girl in Singleton.
