Police Step Up Patrols and Appeals for Witnesses
Avon & Somerset police confirmed the arrest on Thursday 11 December. The boy, in his mid-teens, was questioned and released on bail pending further investigation.

Community Urged to Speak Out for Safety
Insisting on the importance of reporting, Insp Baines added: “People may not always report such incidents, but we want to hear from anyone affected or who knows about any area where women or girls feel unsafe. Your safety is our priority.”
