Police investigating a reported assault in Tameside say they are now satisfied no crime was committed. Officers were called to Audenshaw Reservoir at around 4.30pm on Monday (May 9) following reports a man had assaulted a girl.
It prompted schools to send out a warning text to parents. Denton Community College’s message said that children should 'be vigilant, avoid the area altogether or not go there alone'. Following enquiries, officers located and spoke to the two people involved in the incident.
