Lancaster Police are appealing for information after a 20-year-old student was groped whilst she was out walking in Galgate on 29th January 2012.

The incident took place around 3.30pm on Chapel Lane when a teenage boy, who was in the company of four other youths, ran after the victim and engaged her in conversation before groping her breast and slapping her bottom.

The group, three boys and two girls, were hanging around the steps to the cemetery at the time of the offence.

The boy responsible is described as white, aged between 13 and 15, slim build with short light brown hair and a grey and white matching tracksuit.

PC Nikki Kay said: “I would appeal to anybody that saw the group of youngsters in the area at the time of incident, or with any information to come forward,

“The victim was not hurt but obviously felt violated and this type of behaviour is not acceptable.”

Anyone with any information should call Lancashire Police on 101.
