Man arrested after woman's body found in car park

Police want to speak to anyone that saw a "distinctive" car being driven along Cat Ditch Road on Tuesday night

A 38-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and abduction after the body of a woman was found in a car park.

Police said the discovery was made in an area between Roe Green and Wallington, North Hertfordshire, at about 20:00 GMT on Tuesday.

The Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit said it was working to establish the woman's identity.

The man, from Luton, remains in police custody.

Officers said they wanted to hear from anyone that saw a "distinctive" white Ford Fiesta with blue stripes being driven in the Cat Ditch Road area in the hours before the woman's body was found.

Police released an image of the car which has a registration plate ending in DXU

Det Insp Justine Jenkins said: "We believe there a few vehicles of this type in the local area and so I would like to stress that we know the owner of this particular vehicle.

"I particularly want to ask anyone who was driving in the area with a dash cam to check their footage and get in touch if you spot the vehicle."
