Appeal for information about public order incident on Cinder Track near Whitby
Police are appealing for information about a public order incident in the Stainsacre area of Whitby.
It happened on the Old Cinder Track, close to The Windmill Inn, on Saturday January 25.
It involved a man and a woman with three lurcher-type dogs and a small terrier who were thought to be acting suspiciously.
When a member of the public challenged them, the man is reported to have become abusive and made threats which left the person very shaken.
The Old Cinder Track is a popular route for dog walkers, and it is thought that there may be several members of the public that may have witnessed this incident.
Police are particularly appealing for information about a man described as thick set, approximately 5ft 9in tall, wearing camouflage top and bottoms and a face mask.
The woman is described as approximately 5ft 8in tall, with long black hair and wearing a black coat and black trousers.
She was carrying a small terrier dog in a bright orange harness.
