On the 4th November 2026 between 0900 and 1600 GMT a woman was raped on the Trans Pennine Trail.  We are now appealing for dashcam footage from Harlington Road, Furlong Road, Westfield Lane, or the surrounding areas of Bolton-upon-Dearne. 

If you were in the area at the time, please check your vehicle's dashcams as it may hold vital information that could aid our investigation.

We would also urge cyclists who were in the area at the time to check any recording devices they may have had on their bicycles.

In addition, if you live or work in that area and have doorbell footage from that same time frame that you feel could be relevant and you haven’t already shared with officers who’ve been conducting door to door enquiries, we would also ask that you check these devices too.

The victim has been able to describe the attacker as a tall male of stocky build, who was wearing a dark jumper, black gloves and a black face covering.

If anyone matching this description has been captured on your dashcam or doorbell footage in the area on Wednesday 4 November, please get in touch with us.

We are also continuing to appeal to anyone, including walkers and cyclists, who were in the area during this time. If you saw anything, please report it to us. It could be the vital piece of information we are missing.
