A Lincolnshire Police spokesman said: “We would like to speak to anyone who has information that they believe could assist with our investigation. We would like to make a specific plea to witnesses of a possible assault of a worker, which occurred at the car wash within the last three weeks. We believe that a taxi driver may be among the witnesses who could help.”
