Were you enjoying a drink at the Inn on the Pond in Nutfield around 9.30pm last night?

If so, you may be able to help us with our enquiries.

We are investigating after a man was heard shouting from a van as it drove northbound past the pub along Nutfield Marsh Road.

Witnesses describe him as sounding panicky and desperate and claiming that he had “been attacked” and was “in the back”.

The van is described as a light-coloured VW transporter van with swirly sign writing down the sides.

Detective Constable Leigh Wall, who is investigating, said: “We are trying to whether this was a genuine incident or whether it was just high jinks which have been misinterpreted. We would like to speak to anyone with any information which can shed some light on what happened.”
