An appeal has been launched by police after a camera was spotted being held up a woman’s skirt in Cambridge.

The incident occurred on Burleigh Street in the city centre at about 1.15pm on Saturday (6 April).

Police are investigating

Officers in Fitzroy Street were alerted and a 27-year-old man, from Newmarket, Suffolk, was arrested on suspicion of operating equipment beneath the clothing of another without consent. He has been bailed until Friday, 5 July.

DC Matthew Lander said: “Burleigh Street would have been very busy at the time of the incident so I am appealing to anyone who may have seen what happened to get in touch.

“I would also like to appeal directly to a witness who spoke to an officer but left without leaving any further details as we had to go and deal with the incident.”

Anyone who witnessed what happened should report it through the force website using reference 35/NT/12786/24.
