A YOUNG man has been arrested in connection with a series of assaults in Trowbridge.

Since mid September, police have received a number of reports in which women have reported to have been approached by a man who has grabbed their bottoms before running off.

Last month, Wiltshire Police released an appeal for any further possible victims to come forward.

The male, from Trowbridge, has been interviewed and since released on bail pending further enquiries.

Detective Constable Paula Manley said: “We would like to reassure the local community that we are continuing to investigate these incidents and have arrested one person.

"Our enquiries are ongoing at this stage, and again, I would like to appeal to anyone who may have been a victim of this offence to contact police.

“We appreciate that some people may not have been affected by this type of incident and would therefore not have considered contacting police, however, these incidents have been upsetting and distressing for some of the victims and we would ask that if you think you may have been a victim to a similar incident, to please get in touch.

"Any information you have could help us build up a better picture of the level of offending.”
