LATEST NEWS: Police say there is 'no cause for concern' after a group of 20 men allegedly 'surrounded, followed and photographed' two teenage girls on Plymouth Hoe

Police have insisted there is "no cause for concern" following allegations that two 16-year-old girls were photographed, followed and surrounded by a large group of men in broad daylight.

In a widely shared Facebook post, a family member alleged that around 20 men, some reportedly wearing balaclavas, began taking photographs of the girls before following them as they attempted to leave.

The post further alleged that the men tried to cut off the girls' escape route towards the Gypsy Moth pub, with additional men reportedly emerging from a white van.

Devon and Cornwall Police have now confirmed they received a report of two teenage girls being made to feel uneasy by a group of around 20 men in the Citadel Road area at approximately 4.50pm on Thursday 8 October.

However, police say no criminal offences have been identified at this time.

Despite the concerns raised online, police added: "While we are aware of commentary on social media around this incident, we believe there is no cause for concern."

The force confirmed that both girls left the area unharmed and that enquiries remain ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101, quoting log 564 of 8 October 2026.
