Police are appealing for any witnesses after a woman was raped in a park.

Officers are calling on anyone with information following the incident in Great Lines Heritage Park, Brompton Road, Gillingham, on Friday, July 10.

It happened near the junction with King's Bastion and Great Lines, between 5.30pm and 7.45pm.

Detective inspector Dan Rance said: "We are following several lines of enquiry, including assessing available CCTV, but at this stage do not have a clear description of the offender.

"We believe there may be several members of the public who either saw or assisted a distressed woman in Great Lines Park at some point in the late afternoon or early evening.

"They are unlikely to have been aware that an offence had taken place but I encourage them to contact us as information they did not consider suspicious at the time could be vital in our investigation."

Anyone with information is asked to call Kent Police’s appeal line on 01634 792209 quoting crime reference 46/117998/20.

You can also contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111 or using the anonymous online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org.
