A man reportedly reached under a 14-year-old girl’s skirt and took a photograph at a shopping centre in Grantham, police said.

The girl was looking at clothes at a charity shop in the Isaac Newton Shopping Centre when the crime took place on Monday, October 25 at 9.40am.

She was then approached from behind by a man who placed his phone underneath her skirt to take a picture.

After being challenged, the man turned and ran away from the shop.

Police are now appealing to locate the man in the CCTV picture below, who has been described as having short blonde hair with a short blonde beard, having pale skin and being of thin build.
