Man eliminated from enquiries in fast-moving investigation

DETECTIVES investigating an attempted rape at Babbs Mill have released a suspect arrested earlier today (Tuesday) without charge.
The 35-year-old was detained in the early hours of this morning following information received during a public appeal yesterday.
However, within hours of the announcement, West Midlands Police confirmed that the individual has been eliminated from enquiries.
Chief Insp Colin Barnes, from Solihull Police, said: "We are continuing to appeal for information.
"While we do have extra patrols in the area and a large number of officers working on the investigation, the role the public plays in this remains crucial.
"We need the public to be our eyes and ears and to let us know of any piece of information that could help us track down the offender and bring them to justice.
"As we head towards the school holidays, we want to remind parents and youngsters to follow common sense advice to keep themselves safe.
"We’d ask all members of the public to be vigilant and be aware of their surroundings and personal safety."
Anyone with information can call 101; quoting crime number 20SH/145636Y/18. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
