Appeal after man follows woman in car in Launceston

Police are asking for witnesses after a woman was followed and then stopped by a man in a car while she was walking through Launceston alone.

The woman reported initially becoming aware of a vehicle following her when she left the Tesco Superstore.

It then passed her and stopped in Tavistock Road at around 7.20pm on Wednesday 21 October.

The male driver initially asked her for directions and then inappropriate and offensive questions.

The woman fled the scene and immediately called the police.

The vehicle is described as being either a black or dark blue Mitsubishi 4X4 with silver bumpers on the front and rear.

The male is described as Mediterranean looking with dark hair and a tan but with a British accent.

He is believed to have been in his late 40s with possible acne scarring on his cheeks and possibly wearing a dark blue t-shirt.

Any witnesses are asked to call 101 or visit the Devon and Cornwall Police website quoting 50260283193.
