POLICE have arrested a man in connection with a string of sexual assaults against a woman in Ringwood over more than a year.

The breakthrough followed investigations into reports the victim, who is in her 20s, was inappropriately touched at an address on Salisbury Road between May 2023 and August this year.

Arrested recently at his home address in Ferndown on suspicion of sexual assault offences, the 37-year-old was later released on conditional bail.
