Police have issued CCTV images as they try to identify a man who secretly filmed a girl on his mobile phone in a coffee shop in Stroud on Friday.
It is believed the man committed the offence of upskirting, which involves the taking of a picture under a person’s clothing without them knowing.
It happened at around 2.20pm at Coffee #1 on George Street.
The man’s actions were spotted by a member of staff as the victim was in the queue.
When the man was challenged he left the shop.
He is described as white, 5ft 9ins tall, aged between 40-50, with shaved grey hair, stubble and was wearing blue visor sunglasses and shorts.
It is believed the man then returned to his car, which was parked outside Lloyds bank on Rowcroft, and drove off.
The victim was left very distressed and shaken by the incident.
While the CCTV is not of a high quality, it does show that the man’s vehicle was distinctive – a small red 4×4 with what appears to be lengths of plastic fascia or similar strapped to the roof – and it is hoped someone will remember seeing it and the driver.
