Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses following a suspicious incident in Salisbury on Tuesday (30th April).

At around 7 pm on Tuesday, on the A360 just off St Paul’s Roundabout, a 15-year-old girl was approached by an elderly male making inappropriate comments, leaving her feeling shaken and uncomfortable.

In a statement, Wiltshire Police said, "The male is described as around 60 to 65, with grey receding hair and grey stubble. He was wearing multi-coloured trousers and a long black coat.

"The Salisbury Reds bus (R1) was passing by as this incident took place, and we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the incident or may have dash cam footage to please get in touch.

"It is also believed a similar incident took place at the same location on April 27 where a white van stopped to check on a female.

"Anyone who can help or has any information is asked to contact us on 101 quoting reference 54240049574."
