Police release images of man they want to speak to after teenage girl assaulted

Police have released CCTV images of a man they believe could help them with their enquiries, after the sexual assault of a teenager in Bury last year.

Following the assault on Manchester Road at around 4pm on Tuesday, October 3rd 2023, officers would now like to speak with the man pictured in connection with the incident.

Officers believe he may have further information that can help them with their investigation.

Up to now no arrests have been made, Greater Manchester Police say.

Police Constable Zak Wood, of GMP’s Bury district, said: “We understand the concern this will raise but want to reassure the local community despite the time passed we are continuing to exhaust all lines of enquiry to ensure we can find the person responsible and remain committed on tackling violence against women and girls.

“We are now able to appeal to the public, and in particular the person pictured, to see if we can retrieve any further detail around this incident to obtain new evidence.

“The victim is continuing to receive the appropriate support throughout all of this and anyone with information is asked to call the district direct on 0161 856 8129 or 101 quoting incident 2538 of 03/10/2023.”

Alternatively, details can be passed on anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
