Witnesses sought after serious sexual assault

Police are appealing for two witnesses as part of an ongoing investigation into a serious sexual assault.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the offence took place between 08:00 and 09:00 GMT on 10 January on Peacock Lane, Plymouth, and was reported to officers on 9 March.

Investigating officers would like to speak to two people who were seen on CCTV speaking to the suspect between 08:30 and 08:35.

Police said both witnesses were approached by the suspect outside the former Lost in Rio premises and the Plaza Snooker Club.

"The first person, possibly a female, spoke to the suspect for a short time before moving on towards the city centre/Barcode as the suspect made his way towards Exeter Street," police said.

"The suspect then stopped to speak to a second person further along Bretonside. It cannot be established if this person is male or female as they too are very distant from the camera."

Police said both of the witnesses may have important information relating to the investigation particularly regarding what the suspect said to them.

The suspect is described as a white male, wearing a light-coloured jacket or fleece, a green lanyard, beige or sandy coloured trousers and black, white and grey trainers.

Police added the suspect may also have been wearing a dark coloured baseball cap.
