Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Las Vegas Metro Police are on the hunt for a man they say groped a 17 year old girl, near downtown last August.
Back on the morning of August 1st, police say a 17-year-old girl was walking home from work near Fremont and 15th Street. As she was walking on the sidewalk, a newer four door Mercedes sedan, driven by an unidentified black male adult, pulled up alongside of her and asked if she wanted a ride. The victim ignored him and crossed the street to avoid further conversation.
The suspect drove ahead into a motel parking lot and got out of his vehicle. He proceeded to walk up to the victim grabbing her by the arm and inappropriately touched her. The victim was able to break away and called police.
The suspect is described as a black male adult, 30s, 5’10” tall, with a medium build. He has short brown hair, light beard, and was wearing a white tank top and blue jeans.
