Detectives from Epping Sexual Offence and Child Abuse Investigation Team are investigating an indecent assault on a teenage girl in Reservoir last week.
Investigators have been told a 15-year-old Reservoir girl was walking to school at the rear of a Plenty Road shopping centre about 8.30am on Tuesday 22 August.
A unknown man attempted to indecently assault her and made an inappropriate comment, Police said.
The girl pushed the man’s hand away and he fled the scene.
