The stretch, which divides the Spar and Tesco car parks, has been cordoned off with a police officer supervising the scene. One of three benches in the location has been wrapped in police tape.

A Dyfed Powys Police spokesperson confirmed: “Dyfed Powys Police is investigating and conducting enquiries following an allegation of sexual assault in the area of the canal in Welshpool.”

A passer by this morning told mywelshpool that a police officer said a “serious incident” had taken place and it is believed officers have been on the scene overnight.
