Police fear a ‘campaign of abuse’ is being directed against street entertainers in one North Yorkshire town.
A woman shouted abuse at two buskers at around 1pm on Sunday, 27 October, on Northallerton High Street at its junction with Zetland Street.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “The victims were not injured. However police are concerned that this behaviour may be part of a wider pattern or campaign of abuse.”
Incident location
A 31-year-old woman was arrested at the time and has been bailed with conditions.
The force spokesperson added: “We’re particularly appealing for information about the nature of what was said, the attitude of the suspect, or if you have seen a woman in the area behave in a similar way to the victims in the past.”
Officers are asking anyone with information that could help their investigation to contact them on the numbers below.
