Man claiming to be a Slough police officer
Detectives investigating an incident of a sexual nature in Slough, involving a teenager and a man posing as a police officer, are appealing to anyone with information to come forward.
The incident happened shortly after 6.15pm on Wednesday (20/2) in a wooded area known as The Milly, off Littlebrook Avenue, Slough.
A 14-year-old boy was with his friend in Littlebrook Avenue when they were approached by a man who claimed to be a police officer.
Following a short conversation, the man asked the victim’s friend to go home and told the victim to accompany him to a nearby wooded area where the incident occurred.
It is believed that a police siren, heard in the vicinity, resulted in the offender fleeing the scene.
The 14-year-old boy was not harmed, though left shaken by the incident.
Slough Det Con Richard Jarvis, investigating the incident, said: "Fortunately the victim was not physically harmed, however the offender made some very inappropriate sexual comments towards him during the incident.
"The fact that the offender posed as a police officer whilst committing the crime is also disgraceful and indeed worrying. He was not wearing police uniform though told the boys that he was carrying out some inquiries.
"We believe that the man appeared from a large white van which was parked by an alleyway at Littlebrook Avenue."
He is described as black, possibly light-coloured skin, around 17-years-old, with black curly hair. He wore a grey Nike hooded top and bottoms.
If you have information, please contact Det Con Jarvis via the 24 hour police enquiry centre on 0845 8 505 505. Those who do not wish to speak to police or leave their name should call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
