I am also keen to speak to anyone who may have also been approached by this woman, and ask them to get in touch.

Anyone who can assist this investigation should contact Harrogate CID, select option 2 and ask for Dan Ridgeway. Alternatively, information can be emailed to daniel.ridgeway@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk
