A teenager was hit in the stomach and had her vape stolen during a theft and assault by a ‘drunk’ man at a skate park.

The incident took place on July 2 at around 3.30pm at The Grove Skate Park in Grove Road, Grove.

A man approached the victim, a 15-year-old girl, taking her vape from her and by doing so hit her in the stomach.

The man was described by the girl as a white, medium build, around 40 years old, five foot 10 inches tall, as well as having brown short hair with grey streaks on the top of his head.

He was wearing grey tracksuit jogging bottoms, which had a rip on the knee, and a black or grey coat that looked like it was a Northface brand puffer coat.

The girl said the man ‘wobbly’ and appeared ‘drunk’, holding a can of beer in his hand.

A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: “If you have seen anything or have any footage, please call 101 and quote reference: 43220290363.”
