Man seen acting indecently before making sexual remarks towards woman

Witnesses are being sought after a man was seen acting indecently before making sexual remarks towards a woman in Inverness.

The first incident took place on Friday, August 12 at around 11.20am, in the King Street area.

Later that same day, at around 9.35pm, a man made sexual comments towards a woman on Montague Road.

Police believe that it was the same man who was involved in both incidents.

He is described as being between 55 and 70-years-old, around 5ft 10ins, and of a slim build.

The man is said to have short, white hair at the sides and is thought to be unshaven.

When seen, he was wearing a dark-coloured jumper and trousers, as well as a dark hat/baseball cap.

On one occasion, he was holding a carrier bag.

Police are reviewing CCTV following the incidents as they carry out an investigation.

Inspector Craig Still said: “We recognise these reports are concerning and I want to reassure the local community that significant efforts are being made to trace the man or men involved.

“We are reviewing CCTV as part of our ongoing enquiries, and I would also ask anyone who may have seen anything suspicious to please make contact with officers.”

Information can be passed to the investigative team by calling 101, and quoting reference 1566 of August 12 for Kings Street and 1075 of August 13 for Montague Row.
