Police release image of elderly Harrison ‘groper’

A face-fit image of the elderly Asian man police want to talk to.

This is a face-fit image of an elderly man who allegedly groped a woman in Harrison on Thursday afternoon.

Police say that at about 12.40pm, a woman was walking through a playground in Harrison – near the Harrison Early Childhood Centre and Harrison School – when she was approached by an elderly man who allegedly inappropriately touched her on her breasts and attempted to kiss her.

The police describe the man as Asian in appearance, with a solid build, grey hair, and a beard.

He was wearing a white button-up shirt and jeans and carrying a silver mobility cane.

Police have been unable to locate the man, but urge him to present himself to the nearest police station.

Anyone who recognises this man, or has information that could assist police, should call 1800 333000 or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website.
