Officers investigating a series of indecent assaults are appealing for information.

In the third incident in three weeks, two girls were approached on Clacton Pier last night at about 8pm by two young males and one of the young teenage girls was indecently assaulted.

The first boy was white, in his teens, slim, with a shaved head and wearing jeans and was sunburned.

The second was black, about 17 with thick curly hair, a black top and trousers and lots of gold jewellery.

Both were between 5ft 9ins and 5ft 10ins.

Police have also just released information about two other indecent assaults which occurred on the seafront between St Osyth and Jaywick on July 24.

Two girls close to the Sailor Boy pub on St Osyth seafront were approached by boys thought to be about 15 at about 8pm.

Shortly after, two other teenage girls were also indecently assaulted by males of the same description on the seafront between Seawick Holiday Village at St Osyth and Tower Caravan Park in Jaywick.

The first boy was white, chubby, and had black cropped hair with black jogging bottoms and stubble.

The second was of mixed race, skinny, had black jogging bottoms and a red T-shirt and cap. He also had protuding teeth.

Anyone with information should contact Clacton police on 01255 221312
