A man has been arrested after two teenage girls reported sexual assaults in Swindon.
Police rushed to reports of an attack at Cavendish Square early yesterday afternoon (Thursday 16 February).
A teenage girl reported being followed in the Park South area and then sexually touched by the suspect.
When police officers arrived, they collared a man riding a bicycle, aged in his 60s, who is understood to be visiting family in the Swindon area from abroad.
He was taken to Gableross custody for questioning but has since been released on conditional bail.
It’s understood the police seized the man’s passport whilst the investigation is ongoing – to mitigate the risk of him potentially fleeing the country during proceedings.
It’s believed other women and girls may have been targeted by the same man, with at least one other teenage girl reporting a similar incident at the same location last month.
