Detective Inspector Paul Kirkby reassured the local community in Old Goole.

"At present we believe this is an isolated incident and since the original incident on Tuesday, no further related incidents have occurred."

And Det Insp Kirkby said police have increased patrols in the local areas.

He said: "If You can help in some way piece together the three separate events and we  have not yet spoken to you, please contact one of my detectives.

"I am appealing for anyone who may have information about large groups of individuals seen in Scunthorpe and Goole in the early hours of Tuesday, February 14, to contact police.

"The investigation is still ongoing and we would ask anyone who is able to assist police with their inquiries to call Humberside Police on 101 quoting log 55 14 February 2012."
