Appeal following serious sexual assault in Plymouth

We are trying to trace two potential witnesses as part of an ongoing investigation into a serious sexual assault in Plymouth.

The offence took place between 8am and 9am on Tuesday 10 February on Peacock Lane, Plymouth, and was reported to us on Monday 9 March.

Investigating officers are keen to speak to two people who were seen on CCTV speaking to the suspect between 8.30am and 8.35am on 10 February.

Both witnesses were approached by the suspect outside the former Lost in Rio premises (currently being renovated) and the Plaza Snooker Club.

The first person, possibly a female, spoke to the suspect for a short time before moving on towards the city centre/Barcode as the suspect made his way towards Exeter Street.

The suspect then stopped to speak to a second person further along Bretonside. It cannot be established if this person is male or female as they too are very distant from the camera.

It is believed both of these people may have important information relating to the investigation, particularly regards what the suspect said to them.

The suspect is described as a white male, wearing a light-coloured jacket or fleece, a green lanyard, beige/sandy coloured trousers and black, white and grey trainers. He may also have been wearing a dark coloured baseball cap.

If you think you may have been one of the people who spoke to the suspect, please call 101 or visit our website quoting 50260035768
