Police investigating multiple sexual assaults on walking tracks in Sydney have released images of a suspect who fled on an e-bike.
Detectives investigating a series of groping attacks on women at walking tracks in Narrabeen, Sydney's northern beaches, have released CCTV images of a suspect they say fled on an e-bike.
Three separate incidents were reported after women were accosted on a popular local track on October 7 and 8. In each case, the man allegedly approached and sexually touched the woman before riding off. In one incident, he also made inappropriate sexual comments. Following a police appeal for public assistance, two further reports emerged: a woman approached at Narrabeen Lagoon in nearby Wheeler Heights on October 1, and an assault targeting two women on a walk trail at Narrabeen Lagoon the same afternoon.
Strike Force Mexvo has been established to investigate the incidents with assistance from State Crime Command detectives. The man depicted in the images is described as being of Caucasian appearance, believed to be aged under 25 years old, approximately 175cm tall and of medium build. Officers are working to confirm whether the incidents are linked or involve more than one offender.
