Teen girl left shaken after man ‘grabbed her chest’ in Northumberland Food4Less shop
Police are appealing for information after a teenage was sexually assaulted in a Northumberland[1] food shop. The man reportedly approached the girl inside of Food4Less on Front Street West in Bedlington[2] and grabbed her chest before leaving the premises. The victim was left shaken by the incident which was later reported to the police.
Officers are investigating the incident which happened at around 3.15pm on Friday, October 6. Northumbria Police say extensive enquiries have been ongoing since the report came in – and now officers have appealed to the public. They are keen to speak to anyone who may have information and who could assist the investigation.
That includes a man who was in a black electric wheelchair and in the shop at the time. He is described as a white male, about 50-60 years of age, bald, and wearing all black clothing. He is understood to have a local accent.
That person, anyone who saw what happened or has information that could help, is asked to contact police using the ‘Report’ pages on the Northumbria Police[3] website, or call 101, quoting reference: 125428K/23.
