Officers say they are investigating a suspicious incident in Lyme Regis involving a man taking pictures of two teenage girls.

The incident happened at about 5.50pm on Thursday 17 March 2022 when two teenage girls were sitting on The Cobb wall and a gust of wind blew up their skirts, which they quickly pushed down again. They then noticed that a man appeared to have been taking pictures of them on his phone.

Police Constable Abi Worley, of Dorset Police, said: “The girls believe that the man positioned himself intentionally to take the pictures of them.

“I am now in a position to issue an image of a man who I would like to talk to in order to progress my investigation and would appeal for him to come forward.

“Anyone who recognises the man pictured is asked to contact police.”
