Police are appealing for witnesses and information following a report of upskirting in Totnes.

It was reported that at around 5.30pm on Wednesday 27 August, a man entered the Greenlife store on Totnes high street and secretly recorded a number of female shoppers.

Investigating officers would like to hear from anyone who was in the shop at around the time of the incident.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police said: "We are particularly keen to hear from three witnesses who have been described as the following; a white female with blonde, curly shoulder-length hair who was wearing a floral blue and white dress, another white female with black hair which was tied up, she was wearing a blue Italia shirt and black shorts, and finally another white female, with black hair tied up, wearing a black sleeveless top and striped trousers."

A man in his 40s from Paignton has been arrested on suspicion of recording an image under clothing to observe another without consent and released on police bail.
