After hours of searching, London, Ont., police say they have concluded their investigation into an assault report, saying there is no evidence to suspect that a woman was dragged into the woods in the south end of the city.
Officers combed through Westminster Ponds for most of the afternoon and into Monday evening after receiving a call from someone around 11:20 a.m. claiming to have seen two men drag a woman into the forested area off Southdale Road East.
London police warned the public to expect a heavy police presence in the area and said any members of the public who may have seen or heard anything could contact police.
“At this time, the matter is concluded and there is not believed to be any concern for public safety,” police wrote in a statement.
Officers added that they will continue to investigate any further information, should it be brought forward.
