He is described as a white man, wearing a black scarf over his face, all black clothing with a hood and grey baseball cap underneath, work boots and blue rubber gloves. 

Detective Constable Aimee Summers said: “We would urge anyone who saw the offender or anyone acting suspiciously to call us as a matter of urgency.”
