An investigation is underway after reports of harassment of university students in Penryn.

Originally posted on social media, a warning was shared on a student platform warning others of an incident between ASDA and Penryn Campus (evening of the 4th September) with two men harassing students in a dark car.

Now, Falmouth University has responded after concerns amongst the student community, liaising with the police as they begin their investigation.

Addressing students, Falmouth and Exeter Universities commented:

"We are writing to let you know that the universities are liaising with the police to investigate and to reassure you that this is being taken seriously.

"If you have witnessed or been affected by an incident on our campuses or in the wider community, we encourage you to report via Falmouth and Exeter Speaks Out (which can be anonymous), and to get the support you may need.
