Witness appeal after children filmed by man on train – South Wales

Officers investigating a man filming children on a train in South Wales are appealing for those who witnessed the incident to come forward.

On the morning of 4 August, while the train was travelling between Gowerton and Swansea, two 15-year-old girls were deliberately filmed by a man on the train.

Police believe similar incidents involving the same man have occurred elsewhere on the railway network. He is also wanted in connection to an assault that occurred at Chesterfield railway station on 10 April.

Officers are keen to speak to a number of people who are believed to have witnessed the incident on 4 August, particularly a woman who followed the suspect and then spoke to the two victims.

If you saw what happened or have any relevant information, please text BTP on 61016, or call 0800 40 50 40, using the reference 256 of 4 August.

Information can also be given anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
