Women targeted on walking trails: Police
Police say five women reported alleged sexual touching or harassment on Narrabeen Lagoon trails over the past week.
- On Wednesday, NSW Police established Strike Force Mexvo, bringing together specialist detectives with officers from the Sex Crimes Squad to investigate alleged sexual assaults on the Narrabeen Lagoon trail.
- Five women have reported being "sexually touched by a person riding an e-bike" along the Narrabeen Lagoon Trail between October 1 and October 8, with one incident involving inappropriate sexual comments.
- Investigators are analyzing conflicting witness descriptions; some described the suspect as a teenager aged 16 to 18, while others reported a man in his 20s, though all noted he was approximately 175cm tall.
- Detectives released CCTV images of a man they believe can assist inquiries, urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
- Police continue to probe whether the incidents are linked as investigations unfold across the Northern Beaches, where reports of sex offences against women on walking trails remain under active review.
