POLICE are investigating a ‘suspicious incident’ in Lyme Regis in which a man is reported to have taken a picture of two teenage girls when their skirts blew up in the wind.
Officers are appealing for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward and are looking to speak with the man they have released an image of.
A spokesman for Dorset Police: “The incident happened at about 5.50pm on Thursday, March 17 when two teenage girls were sitting on The Cobb wall and a gust of wind blew up their skirts, which they quickly pushed down again.
“They then noticed that a man appeared to have been taking pictures of them on his phone.”
Police Constable Abi Worley, of Dorset Police, added: “The girls believe that the man positioned himself intentionally to take the pictures of them.
“I am now in a position to issue an image of a man who I would like to talk to in order to progress my investigation and would appeal for him to come forward.
“Anyone who recognises the man pictured is asked to contact police.”
