We are continuing to investigate after a woman was approached by a man in a car as she walked home in Hersham last month.

The woman was walking along Molesey Road around 11pm on 23 June when she was approached by a man in a navy blue car who asked her if she wanted to get in the car with him.

A passing cyclist intervened and the man drove off.

The suspect is described as White, around 45 years, 5ft 6 tall, with short blondish hair and wearing blue smart trousers and a white button shirt.

Detective Constable Adam Patterson, who is investigating the incident, said: “Our investigation is ongoing but we are keen to anyone with any information or who witness anything suspicious in the area around the time of the offence. We are particularly keen to identify the cyclist who intervened as he is a key witness and could provide information which could assist our enquiries.”
