• Suspect 4: Woman of Romanian appearance, long green/brown coat with blue fur lining at the neck, long patterned skirt, grey backpack.

“Officers are currently carrying out CCTV checks within and between the two streets these incidents took place, however we would appeal to anyone who may have seen this group to get in touch with us.

“The city centre would have been busy last night with people out enjoying a Friday night out and therefore somebody must have seen something.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police via 101, quoting incident number 0144 of Saturday 8 June 2019. Alternatively you can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 where information can be given in confidence.
