Police issue appeal after woman harassed by driver in Slough

Police are appealing for witnesses following a harassment incident in Slough.

A woman was walking along Mill Lane, Slough, when a blue Vauxhall Zafira pulled up alongside her at around 8am on Tuesday (May 6).

The driver started talking to her and telling her to get into his car, continued to drive alongside her, telling her to get in, and holding up traffic.

The driver then drove off to the Golden Cross roundabout and stopped again, asking her to get into his car.

At this point, a lorry driver who was stuck behind the car asked the victim if she was okay. When she said no, the man in the car drove off.

The offender is described as an Asian man in his forties, with black hair and a beard.

Investigating officer, PC Megan Gomm, said: “This was a concerning incident which has had an impact on the victim.

“We are carrying out an investigation to trace this individual.

“We are appealing to anyone who was driving on Mill Lane on Tuesday morning at around 8am to come forward, particularly if they have dash-cam footage of the incident.

“Additionally we would ask the lorry driver who stopped to check on the victim to also come forward.

“Anyone with information can provide it through our online form quoting reference 43250220607 or by calling 101.

“If you do not wish to speak to the police you can provide information 100% anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111.”
