Sinister man made sex comments to Southsea shop staff he stalked - and tried to force way in closed store
A sinister man who made Southsea shop staff uncomfortable with sexual remarks and who tried to force his way inside the store when it had shut is being hunted by police.
Workers at stores in Palmerston Road and Marmion Road were left on edge by the strange antics of a man prowling the streets on Tuesday 21 January.
Police said they have received reports of the male “behaving suspiciously”, with part of this behaviour including attending a business and “making sexual remarks towards the staff”.
A force spokesperson added: “He is also reported to have been seen outside of the store behaving in a way that made the staff uncomfortable, returning several times a day to do so.
“It was reported that the man waited outside the store for staff members to finish work and tried to gain entry to the store when staff told him they were closed.
“Officers have been carrying out a number of enquiries to try to identify the man, and are now releasing several images of a person they would like to speak to who may be able to provide them further information.”
