Detectives investigating a sexual assault in Rugby have released a sketch - done by a forensic artist - of a man they would like to speak to.

At around 6.10pm on Saturday 29 January, a teenage girl was walking on a pathway between the end of Reservoir Road and Crowthorns in Brownsover, when a male approached her.

The man then touched her inappropriately over her clothing, before trying to take her coat off.

The victim screamed and the suspect then ran off into nearby woodland.

The suspect is described as white, with blonde/light-coloured facial stubble, short stubble-like hair, aged between 30-40 years old. He was thought to be wearing dark-coloured trousers and a black zipped up puffer jacket.

Investigating officers would like to speak to anyone who may recognise the suspect, or who may have seen or heard any suspicious behaviour in the area on this date. Anyone with any information is asked to call Warwickshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 317 of 29 January 2022.

Information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their website.
