POLICE have renewed appeals for witnesses to an assault on a teenager in Corsham on July 23.

A 17-year-old girl was heading towards the town centre, walking alone in an alley parallel with The Tynings and leading to Pickwick Road, when she was attacked at 10.45pm.

A man walking away from the town centre attacked her. It is believed his motive was to sexually assault the girl.

The youngster did not suffer any serious injury but Wiltshire Police have now issued an e-fit of the man they want to talk to about the offence.

They are checking CCTV footage and have moved the mobile CCTV camera to the alleyway. Anyone with information can contact Dc McLellan at Melksham CID on 0845 408 7000 or Crimestoppers, in confidence, on 0800 555 111.
