A SUSPICIOUS man is being sought by police after he convinced a group of young teenagers to follow him, touching one of them inappropriately.

Between 12.30pm and 2pm on Saturday, October 10, a group of seven boys, aged 12, 13 and 14, were playing football on the Old Railyard car park in Tetbury.

A man approached them and asked for the boys to follow him. The boys then followed the man towards a nearby field before they began to feel uncomfortable and left the scene.

Police told the Standard that during this time the man acted suspiciously and simulated a lewd act. He also touched one of the boys on the arm and bottom.

He is described as white, bald and had a large nose. He was fully clothed throughout the incident and was wearing a black coat, Chelsea Football Club shorts and carrying a bag.

Anyone who saw a man of this description acting suspiciously in the area is asked to call police on 101, quoting incident 252 of Monday, October 12.
