Manhunt after girl, 12, repeatedly sexually assaulted at Primark store in Bury

The man then reappeared and without realising that the girl’s family member was close by, he attempted to approach her again.

The family member challenged the offender, who  then “became very agitated and quickly made off through the main entrance,” police said.

GMP have now released an image of a man they want to speak to in relation to the incident..

PC Stephen Raine of GMP’s Bury Division said: “This was a blatant and repeated sexual assault of a young girl when she was simply out shopping with family.

“We are determined to find who has committed this offence.

“We would ask anyone who recognises the man in this picture, or has any information, to get in touch immediately.”
