The teenager was sitting at the bus station off George Street between 7.50pm and 9.20pm on 1 June when a man sat beside her. At some point the man sexually assaulted the teenager. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

We have increased patrols in the area to provide reassurance and to make enquiries, including checking CCTV. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The bus station had a number of people passing through at the time, so I would urge anyone who has seen anything to contact me.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

As part of enquiries a 33-year-old man has been arrested and released on bail pending further enquiries. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
