Epsom rape claim found baseless

Surrey Police conducted an extensive investigation, including a review of CCTV footage and forensic examinations, following a report that a woman in her 20s was assaulted outside a church.

Assistant Chief Constable Sarah Grahame confirmed that the information provided was limited and that no evidence supported the allegations of immigrant involvement.

Despite the police update, some local groups are still planning peaceful demonstrations to address broader concerns about safety in the town.

Authorities are urging the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could incite further community tension.
