I would ask that anybody involved in this interaction or anybody with information which could assist our enquiries to contact the police as soon as possible.

“As we would do with any report of this nature, we have a dedicated team of detectives working on this investigation. However, I would like to re-iterate that we are keeping an open mind as to the nature of the interaction.”
