After A Teenager Was Sexually Assaulted In Blackpool, An Image Of The Man We Want To Speak With Was Released

 

Police want to question him in connection with a sexual assault investigation in Blackpool.

The victim, a 15-year-old girl, was waiting for a bus outside Leyton Institute on Westcliffe Drive at 8.48 a.m. on May 23.

Before walking off towards Tesco, she felt a man grab her bottom.

He’s described as white, 5’7″ tall, and in his forties. He was dressed casually in a grey cotton jacket and black adidas tracksuit bottoms with white stripes down the sides.

At this time, no arrests have been made. As a precaution, reassurance patrols have been increased in the area.

We have conducted numerous inquiries in order to identify the suspect. As part of our ongoing investigation, we are now asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the man in the CCTV footage, as we believe he may have information that can help us.

We would like to urge anyone with information about his whereabouts, or the man himself, to contact the police as soon as possible.

Send an email to [email protected] or call 101 and reference log 0323 of May 23, 2022.
