Police are appealing for witnesses after a woman was indecently assaulted in Andover on Saturday April 24.
The incident took place between 6.15am and 6.35am at the junction of Winchester Street and London Street.
The 57-year-old woman was walking to work when she was approached from behind by an unknown man who pinched her bottom.
The suspect is described as a white man, aged in his late 20s to early 30s, 5ft 8 tall, of slim build and with short, light coloured hair. The only description of his clothing is that he was wearing blue jeans.
PC Steve Jakes said: “We treat any incidents of this nature very seriously. Fortunately the woman was unharmed and it is possible the offender thought his actions were just a harmless joke. His behaviour is totally unacceptable and once identified, he can expect to be dealt with robustly. We therefore appeal to members of the public to assist us in identifying the person responsible.”
Anyone who has information about this incident should contact PC Steve Jakes at Andover police station on 101. Alternatively you can call the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
