A person who put posters in three Surrey towns inviting people aged 16-40 to a private address has been found by police.

Mole Valley Beat said it had been made aware on Friday about several "concerning" posters that appeared in Dorking, Leatherhead and Epsom.

Surrey Police said no criminal offences were identified and no arrests were made.

The posters were removed and officers "engaged with the person who shared them", according to the force.

A Surrey Police spokesperson said: "Safeguarding concerns were raised about the content of the posters, which advertised an event at a private address.

"The posters were swiftly removed, and officers identified and engaged with the person who shared them. No criminal offences were identified, and no arrests made.

"We are engaging with our partner agencies in the local community to ensure appropriate safeguarding measures are in place."
