Police seek two women as key witnesses in island assault probe

OFFICERS are appealing for help to trace two women who may be able to assist with enquiries into an assault in Orkney

It happened on the morning of Friday, April 4, in Kirkwall on Pickaquoy Loan. 

A 43-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with the incident. He’s due to appear at Kirkwall Sheriff Court at a later date. 

Two women were seen in the area around the time walking a dog. They’re described as aged between 30 and 50-years-old and were wearing light coloured puffer style jackets.

Sergeant Dylan MacKenzie said: “We’re keen to trace these women as they may have witnessed something which could assist with our investigation. They’re not in any trouble with police. 

“If the women do see this appeal, I’d urge them to please come forward and speak to officers.” 

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting reference 2360 of 6 April, 2025.
