Stripy v-neck man sought

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a man made inappropriate requests to two girls in the Kingsmead Shopping Centre on Sunday, March 2.
The man approached the girls in Superdrug and asked them to kick him in his groin.
He said he would pay them and wanted to video the incident because it was a dare from his friends.
The girls, who were aged 15 and 17, refused to go along with the request and informed security and police.
Police have issued a CCTV image of a man they would like to trace in connection with this incident.
The man is described as white, 5ft 9ins to 5ft 11ins, medium build and aged around 30.
He had short, dark brown gelled hair and was wearing dark coloured jeans, a grey and black horizontal striped v-neck jumper, a long black coat and brown trainer type shoes.
PC Bev Woodhead of Farnborough police station said: “This was an isolated incident that happened on a busy day in the shopping centre.
“We would urge anyone with information about the incident to contact police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information about the incident should contact PC Woodhead at Farnborough police station on 0845 045 45 45, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111
