Police have launched a public appeal for information after a teenage girl reported being harassed by a stranger at a Sainsbury's supermarket in Nottinghamshire.
Incident Details in Kimberley
The alleged harassment took place on Sunday, 9 November, at around 3pm. The 16-year-old victim was shopping at the Sainsbury's store on Greens Lane in Kimberley when she became aware of an unknown man staring at her intently.
The situation escalated when she left the supermarket. The same man then approached her outside the nearby Card Factory shop, causing her significant alarm.
Police Investigation and Public Appeal
Nottinghamshire Police were notified of the incident on the same day it occurred. After pursuing several lines of enquiry, investigators have now released a CCTV image of a man they urgently wish to speak to in connection with the event.
