Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Grahame has spoken out after a rape was reported in Epsom in the early hours of Saturday, April 11. The force has faced mounting public pressure and rampant speculation over the incident.
Intensive Investigation Finds No Evidence Yet
“We’ve been digging deep to piece together what happened,” said Grahame. Officers reviewed hours of CCTV, interviewed witnesses, carried out forensic checks, and conducted door-to-door enquiries. But so far, no evidence supports the reported attack.
No Suspect Descriptions Released Amid Rumours
Speculation about suspects’ ethnicity, including wild claims about asylum seekers or immigrants, has been firmly denied. “There’s no evidence linking asylum seekers or immigrants to this,” Grahame insisted. Police have withheld suspect details due to limited information.
Officers Urge Public Help as Patrols Intensify
Anyone with CCTV, dashcam, or helmet camera footage is urged to come forward. Call 101 and quote PR/45260041426. Police promise to keep the public updated and reassure locals, though they ask for time and space to complete their work. Meanwhile, expect to see more officers patrolling Epsom over the weekend to boost security and community confidence.
