LPS is searching for a suspect who sexually assaulted a teenage female

London police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect who sexually assaulted a woman and propositioned a teenage girl in north London on Tuesday.

According to the London Police Service (LPS), at around 5.45pm on Tuesday, a woman was walking along a footpath in the Grenfell Drive area when she was approached by a man on a bicycle. Police say the man started a conversation with the woman and then proceeded to grab her.

The victim took a photo of the suspect before he fled the area.

At 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, police said a teenage girl was in the area when she was approached by a man who offered her money in exchange for sex.

The police were contacted and the LPS Child Sexual Abuse and Abuse Unit began an investigation.

None of the alleged victims were injured.

Investigators believe the same man was responsible for both incidents.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, approximately 20 years old, with blond hair, blond facial hair, wearing a black t-shirt and black shorts. The suspect was riding a bicycle.

Anyone with information regarding the incident or the identification of the suspect is asked to call the London Sheriff’s Office at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
