Witness Appeal Following Potential Assault of Teenager in Dover

 

Police are appealing for information following a potential assault involving a 16-year-old girl who was found with minor leg injuries in Dover earlier this week.

The teenager was discovered at approximately 5:45pm on Monday, April 14, near the roundabout at the junction of Coombe Valley Road and Poulton Close. She was later taken to hospital as a precautionary measure and for treatment.


Unclear Circumstances

Officers from Kent Police are working to establish the full circumstances of the incident, as the girl’s whereabouts prior to being found remain unclear.

“We are especially keen to speak to members of the public who reportedly found and assisted the girl at the scene,” a Kent Police spokesperson said.


Appeal for Witnesses and Information

Anyone who may have seen the teenager in the area, witnessed the incident, or has relevant dashcam or CCTV footage is urged to come forward.

Those with information should call Kent Police on 01843 222289, quoting reference 46/62227/25.

Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or visiting www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

The investigation remains ongoing, and officers are urging the public to help piece together what happened and ensure the teenager receives the necessary support.
