Reported sexual assault triggers Swindon Police investigation

On Saturday, September 7, officers cordoned off the Queen Street alleyway between Fleet Street and Carr Street.

The narrow space between the Audio-T store and the Jack Spice restaurant was cordoned off with police tape to prevent public access.

Four officers remained on scene for most of the morning and were heard telling curious members of the public that there was “no major threat to be concerned about.”
