Public asked to help identify man following sex assaults on buses, CCTV issued: Cleveland
(TS10 - Tuesday, 29 November, 2011)

Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who has sexually assaulted women on buses across the Cleveland Force area in the last few weeks.

Details of the sexual assaults and descriptions of the suspect have already been released last week.

The dates of the offending are all on Monday afternoons on 7th, 14th and 21st November 2011.

They took place in various districts and on different bus routes however officers believe the same man is responsible for all the incidents

Detective Inspector Mark Dimelow said:

"We have an enquiry team dedicated and motivated to identifying this man and we are also working closely with bus companies and bus stations across the Cleveland area.

"In addition to this we are receiving help from CCTV control rooms and are liaising with colleagues at Durham Constabulary since we believe the same man may have committed an offence in their area.

"I would urge people to look closely at the images we have released and ask themselves- have I seen this man, either on public transport, at a bus station or bus stop?

"Does he live in my neighbourhood?

"Someone must know who he is.

"Although the offences have taken place mainly in the Stockton and Middlesbrough districts, this does not necessarily mean he is from those areas - he may have travelled from elsewhere to those locations and may live in your community."

Please contact police as soon as possible if you have any information on his identity or where he is from.

Please ring Kirkleatham Police Office on 01642 302626.

Alternatively call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
