Police have released an electronic image (efit) of a man they want to speak to in connection with an incident of sexual touching on a bus in Gloucester.

A 14-year-old girl was approached by a man who stroked her hair and made inappropriate comments after he sat down next to her.

It happened on the number 12 Stagecoach bus, which travels from Gloucester to Quedgeley, on Tuesday 10 November 2020 between 4pm and 4.15pm.

The suspect is believed to live in the Quedgeley area and got off the bus in the Fieldcourt Drive area.

Officers have been looking at CCTV footage and making house-to-house enquiries as part of their investigation but are now appealing to the public's help to track the man down.

Anyone with information which could help to identify the man should contact police quoting incident 287 of 11 November.
