Sexual assault in car park

By Victoria Stone-Meadows

Police are on the lookout for a man who sexually assaulted a woman in the carpark of the Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre last month.
Police have been told the man followed the 50-year-old woman around a supermarket in the shopping centre for about 45 minutes while she shopped for groceries.
While she was placing her groceries in her car about 1.15pm on Wednesday 29 April, the woman was approached by the same man who had followed her around the supermarket.
The man engaged the woman in a conversation, commenting on her appearance, before she noticed him fondling himself.
The man then walked toward her and rubbed his shoulder up against her before walking away towards Sladen Street.
He is described as Caucasian in appearance, about 185cm tall, with light brown hair, slim build, blue eyes and thin lips.
At the time of the assault, he was wearing a short-sleeve high visibility yellow work shirt, long beige work pants and dark work boots.
Police have released a picture of a man who they believe may be able to assist with their investigation.
Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to www.crimestoppersvic.com.au
