Essex Police is continuing to investigate a report of a dog attack in Loughton

Two people have been arrested after a woman suffered an injury to her arm following a reported dog attack.

Essex Police said a woman in her 30s reported being bitten by a dog in Highwood Lane, Loughton, at 14:50 BST on Tuesday, 13 May.

The dog was with another dog at the time of the incident and police said they had been seeking the owners since then.

A 61-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman, both from Loughton, were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of being in possession of a dog dangerously out of control and both have been released on bail. Two dogs have also been seized.

A police spokesperson said: "Our inquiries are ongoing."
