A man reportedly sexually harassed a woman who was walking her dog in Letchworth yesterday (Wednesday, May 17).

The incident occurred at around 11.40am, in Eastern Way.

The woman was walking her dog in the nearby orchard when a man approached and reportedly sexually harassed her.

He then left the area on foot after spotting two other women who were also out walking their dogs.

Hertfordshire police released images of a man who they believe may have been in the area at the time and could assist their investigation. A van, which is also of interest, was pictured too.

In an update on Friday, May 19, a spokesperson for Herts police said: "A 25-year-old man from Luton was arrested on suspicion of causing intentional harassment, alarm or distress and released on conditional bail while enquires continue."

 

Anybody who has any further information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact police.
