Appeal to trace driver following incident in Hemel Hempstead

Police are appealing for a driver to come forward as part of continued enquiries into an incident in Hemel Hempstead.

At just before 1am yesterday (Tuesday 15 August), it is reported that an altercation occurred at an address on Musk Hill. No injuries were reported and the individuals are known to each other.

A woman then left the address and headed onto Honeycross Road before flagging down the driver of a car and calling the police.

The vehicle is described as a burgundy-coloured car, and the driver was described as a black man, aged in his late 30s, with a small goatee beard.

Detective Constable Lucy Kilhams, who is investigating, said: “We are looking to trace this driver, who we understand spent some time with the victim, as he may have some important information to help progress our investigation.

“If this was you, or you have any further information, please email me.” 

You can also report information online, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101, quoting crime reference 41/65274/23.

Alternatively, you can stay 100% anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form.
