Renewed appeal in relation to reported sexual assaults in Bournemouth

Officers investigating a series of reported sexual assaults in Bournemouth are appealing for a woman to come forward.

It is reported that two separate women were sexually assaulted just after 5.21pm on Saturday 13 April 2019 at the Co-op petrol station on Castle Lane West. Two further similar incidents were reported to have taken place in the Castlepoint area a short time later. It is alleged the offender smacked or touched the bottoms of the women.

As part of their enquiries officers are keen to speak to a woman who was in the lower car park underneath Sainsbury’s at Castlepoint at around 5.30pm that day and may have been approached by a man in similar circumstances.

Police Constable Justyna Nicholas, of Bournemouth police, said: “I would appeal to this woman or anyone else with information to please contact me.”

A 33-year-old man from Bournemouth who was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault remains released on police bail pending further enquiries.
