Two six-year-old girls have been sexually assaulted by a man at Legoland in Windsor.

Police are now hoping tourists who were taking pictures at the attraction in Berkshire will be able to help them catch the man, who preyed on the girls at Castaway Camp in Pirate Shores between 12.15pm and 12.30pm yesterday.

The suspect, who is not known to the victims, is described as a white man in his teens or early 20s, and under 5ft 8ins.

He was wearing dark-coloured slim fitting trousers, a dark-coloured T-shirt, and trainers, and police want people visiting the park yesterday to check any pictures they took in case they inadvertantly snapped an image of him.

Thames Valley Police's investigating officer Penny Mackenzie said: “Today we are appealing for the public’s help to find the offender who sexually assaulted two young girls at Legoland.

“I would ask anyone who visited the Legoland Windsor Resort yesterday, especially if you went to Castaway Camp in Pirate Shores, to check any photographs from your trip to see if you recognise anyone matching the offender.

“Also, if you recognise the offender’s description or have some other information, no matter how insignificant you think it is, we want to hear from you.

“I would like to reassure the local community and visitors to Legoland that such offences are extremely rare and that we are working closely with Legoland to identify the suspect."

Anyone with information should call Thames Valley Police on 101 quoting reference URN 705 12/08 or email URN615@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk
