On Friday 24 May 2024 at around 10am, a man is reported to have approached a teenage girl whilst she sat on a bench, in a walkway connecting Northgate with the Sainsbury’s car park on Kingsmead Road. The man attempted to offer the girl money and to engage her in conversation before touching her inappropriately over her clothing.
