Hi Resident

Thames Valley Police is releasing a CCTV image of a man officers wish to speak to following a sexual assault incident in Reading.

At around 3pm last Monday (1/12), a man was seen following a number of females in TK Maxx in The Oracle.

The same man inappropriately touched the first victim, a woman in her twenties, in the store. 

The offender then inappropriately touched a second victim, a woman in her twenties, and when she confronted him, the man quickly left the store.

Investigating officer, Police Staff Daniel Peters said: “I am appealing to anyone who recognises this man, or if it is you to please contact us as soon as possible as we think this man may have information to assist our investigation.

“We are also appealing for the first victim who was inappropriately touched to come forward so that we can speak to them and make sure they are ok. We also think they may be able to assist our investigation. 

“If you think that you may have been the victim of a crime of this nature in TK Maxx, The Oracle, last Monday or have any information, we would ask that you please call us on 101 or make a report online, quoting reference 43250614037.
