A WOMAN has admitted that she fabricated a claim that someone had attempted to rob her in a layby off the A436 at Seven Springs.
The woman, 24, from Gloucester, has been served with a fixed penalty notice for wasting police time and will seek appropriate support.
Karen Ellis, Cotswolds neighbourhood policing inspector, said: “I am pleased that we have been able to resolve this allegation and establish that this locality doesn’t represent the danger that had been feared.”
