'Deeply concerning reports of harassment and sexual assault' in Milton Keynes prompts statement from local MP
Reports of criminal activity in Milton Keynes have prompted a local MP to share an update with the local community on police action.
Labour MP for Buckingham and Bletchley, Callum Anderson, shared a public statement after concerning reports of harassment and sexual assault over the last few weeks in Newton Leys.
Callum said: “I know these incidents have caused significant anxiety within our community, particularly for women and girls who are just trying to live their day-to-day lives.
“Since these incidents were first reported, my team and I have been in regular contact with Thames Valley Police to ensure we are kept informed of developments and the action being taken.
“Many of you will have noticed the increased police presence in Newton Leys, including officers in Margarita Gardens and the police helicopter earlier this week. Police have confirmed this activity formed part of ongoing efforts to arrest the suspect.”
The MP added that Thames Valley Police says it is treating the investigation with ‘the utmost seriousness’ and is working to find the suspect. He welcomed the high-visibility patrols that will continue across the area, including around local schools, to reassure the public and keep people safe.
He said that Thames Valley Police do not believe these incidents are linked to reports of a man following young females on Galapagos Grove in December 2025, and urged everyone to avoid speculation on social media,
If anyone has any information that may assist with the police investigation, they can report it on the Thames Valley Police website or by calling 101. In the case of an emergency, call 999.
