A man has been arrested as part of an investigation into suspected sexual offences involving a teenage girl.
Officers say they were contacted in May 2017 over concerns for the welfare of a 16-year-old girl from Waltham Abbey.
Essex Police confirmed today they have now arrested a 38-year-old man from Waltham Cross in connection with the investigation.
The suspect remains on conditional bail until March 8, pending further enquiries.
Police said their investigation was centred on the Americana Fried Chicken in High Street, Waltham Cross.
Detectives also confirmed they were working with partner agencies to ensure safeguarding during the operation.
- Anyone who has information in connection with the investigation is asked to contact DC Chris Longhurst on 101
