Police are hunting for a man they think could be connected to two sexual assaults in Yate.

Officers have released an E-fit of a man they want to identify after two girls were inappropriately touched in separate incidents.

The first was on Friday, January 14 in Slimbridge Close, Yate around 4pm.

The victim described the offender as white, with blond hair and aged in his 20s around 5ft 9in tall.

He was wearing a light red, blue and white block colour coat, dark trousers and blue trainers.

Avon and Somerset Police say they are keeping an open mind as to whether the incident is linked with another which took place on Monday, March 21 at 4.30pm in an underpass near Sandhurst, Yate. 

On both occasions, the victims ran away and were unhurt.
