TWO teenage girls were indecently assaulted in Burnley in what police believe to be connected incidents.
On Monday lunchtime, a 17-year-old was walking in Scott Park Road when she was approached from behind by an unknown male who groped her bottom. The offender is described as a white, aged in his late teens, of slim build, with a pale clean shaven complexion, with dark short hair, wearing glasses and dark clothes.
A male of a similar description assaulted a 14-year-old girl the following day, between 8.25am and 8.45am.
The girl was walking to school behind the library in Raglan Road, when a man came up behind her and put both hands up her skirt.
Insp Damian Darcy added: "We would like to advise young people not to walk on their own or to take short cuts, but to keep to bright areas with people around."
