POLICE have released new images of a man they want to speak after two women were sexually assaulted in Bournemouth town centre.

The first incident happened at 1am on Sunday, October 27, 2019.

A woman aged in her 20s was walking with a friend on Westover Road when she was approached by a man.

It is reported that the man touched the woman’s leg and placed his hand underneath her clothing.

A short while later, another woman aged in her 20s, was approached while alone on the beach near to the Harry Ramsden’s restaurant.

Police said the man kissed the woman and touched her underneath her clothing. The victim ran away from the scene.

It is believed both incidents involved the same offender.

Detective Constable Tom Bancroft, of Bournemouth CID, said: “We are continuing our enquiries into this incident and I have now obtained further images of a man we would like to speak to in connection with the incidents but have still not been able to identify.

“I would urge anyone with information as to his identity to please contact us.”
