A mother was walking with her three-year-old daughter in Grantham when the disturbing incident occurred. They walked past Barrowby Gate on Wednesday, June 22nd.
Around 2:55 p.m., two men approached the couple. According to police, one of the men was dressed in a white and gray jacket.
The other one wore a red top. To the mother’s dismay, the man bent down in the white and gray jacket and kissed the three-year-old girl on the face.
The anxious parent tried to confront them. However, they simply walked away, with the man in the red top laughing.
They then left the area and headed in the direction of Dysart Road. Police released an image of the men involved, saying although the image is vague, they are looking for anyone who can help identify the couple.
The force said: “We appreciate the CCTV footage is vague, but it was a particularly disturbing incident for those involved. “We appeal to anyone who can recognize this pair based on their distinctive attire to please come forward with any information you have to help us identify these men.”
