Officers investigating the assault of a taxi driver in Gloucester last month are no longer appealing for help to identify a group of men dressed as Christmas Elves.

Police issued an appeal yesterday (Thursday 4 January) asking for the men in fancy dress to come forward as it is believed they may have witnessed the incident.

The men have now made contact and will be spoken to by investigating officers in due course.

Police have thanked the public and media for their help in sharing the appeal.

Enquiries are continuing and officers are still appealing for anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has mobile, CCTV or dashcam footage to get in touch.
