Image appeal following suspicious behaviour in Bournemouth
Officers are issuing an image of a man they would like to identify following inappropriate sexual behaviour and outraging public decency in Bournemouth.

He made inappropriate sexual comments and performed an indecent act underneath his clothing.
The man followed the victims into Slim Chickens whereby they sought help from staff, who asked the man to leave.

“I am now issuing an image of a man I would like to identify and would ask anyone who recognises him to please come forward.”
