“Each time, the five victims have been either grabbed or inappropriately touched causing them distress. Due to the nature of the incidents and the similar description of the offender, we believe they are linked and are working hard to find out who is responsible.

“I would ask anyone who may have been approached or believe they may have been a victim of this person to come forward.”
