A number of female joggers have reported being groped by a cyclist.

In just one week, police received three separate calls from people saying they were touched by a young man while out in Milton Regis.

The first incident on Friday, November 7, involved a teen on a bicycle fondling a woman in the High Street.

Three says after this, a man on a push-bike, described as being in his 20s, sexually touched another lady in Eastwood Road, Sittingbourne.

Last Thursday, a further victim was targeted by a cyclist in Attlee Way.

A number of women have commented on social media to say they have encountered the sex pest while out running.

A police spokesman said: “Officers have increased patrols in the area and the local PCSOs have been made aware.”

Anyone with any information about the incidents is asked to call police on 101. Alternatively, Crimestoppers can be contacted anonymously on 0800 555111.
