PC Lesley Mountford said: "I am particularly keen to trace two men who are potential witnesses.

"They were seen in the field between 1.30pm and 1.45pm on May 2 with a muscular white dog, described as either a Pitbull Terrier or Staffordshire Bull Terrier, which was running free.

"The men were both white and one rode a silver and bronze bicycle. He was aged in his 20s, with short dark hair, a round-shaped face and was wearing a grey hoodie. The second man was aged between 25 and 30, 6ft tall and of slim build. He wore a blue jumper.

"The men were seen a short time later walking along Broadfield Road with the dog chained to the bike."

Witnesses should call police on 101.
