A 16-YEAR-old girl has been followed and harassed by a stranger who was “staring at her” in a Sainsbury’s.
Detectives probing the terrifying incident have released an image of a man they would like to speak to.
The 16-year-old was shopping on Greens Lane in Nottingham on Sunday, November 9 when she noticed a man was staring at her.
When she left the shop the man followed and approached her outside.
The terrified schoolgirl said the interaction made her “feel scared” and “intimidated.”
The man reportedly paid her compliments and asked her where she lived before talking about property that he owned.
He fled the scene when a brave shop worker intervened.
Officers have carried out a number of lines of inquiry to locate the man but so far, they are unable to identify him.
Nottinghamshire Police are now calling on the public’s help to locate the suspect.
PC Olivia Pettitt, who is investigating the incident, said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and made the girl feel scared and intimidated.
