Police in Andover say a teenage girl has been left shaken and distressed after an incident in a picnic area.

The 16-year-old girl was sat in a wooded area behind the Folly pub in Charlton Road last Thursday when a man approached her and started making sexual comments.

Police say the girl was left shaken and distressed by the incident.

The man is described as white, of skinny build, in his late 20s to early 30s and 5ft 10ins to 6ft tall, and spoke with a local accent.

He was wearing a blue baseball cap, a black facemask and was carrying a CEX drawstring carrier bag.

Police are appealing for anyone who may have been in the area at the time, or used the public footpath which runs behind The Folly.
