Police seek to identify alleged offender in indecent act

Police are seeking to identify a male who entered Just Jeans in Westfield Woden and committed an indecent act on a female employee.

On Thursday 10 August 2017, about 2.00pm a male entered Just Jeans and asked the female employee to try on a jacket for sizing. He bought the jacket but stayed in the store until the other customers had left before approaching the employee.

The male is described as being Indian Sub-Continental in appearance, aged in his 40’s, a medium to large build with dark hair and a beard. He was wearing a black hat, a tracksuit and a vest.

Police are asking anyone who may have noticed the male in the store or who can identify him from the image to contact police.
