Officers believe that the man pictured within the CCTV images may be able to assist them with their investigation and would ask anyone who recognises him to come forward.

He is described as 35-45-years-old, 5ft 7-10in tall and of medium build. He has short brown hair and a tattoo on the right side of his neck.

At the time of the incidents, he was wearing jeans, a dark t-shirt which was possibly a football shirt, a dark-coloured zip jacket that was open at the front, and white trainers.
