Police hunt for man who kissed toddler on her face before walking away 'laughing'

A manhunt is underway for a man who kissed a toddler on the face before walking away 'laughing'.

Police have released a CCTV image of the two men they would like to speak after the incident happened on Barrowby Gate, Lincolnshire at around 2.55pm on Wednesday, 22 June.

The girl's "distressed" mum tried to confront the man who bent down and kissed the three-year-old's face before he walked away.

A Lincolnshire Police spokesperson said: "A mother was walking along this road with her three-year-old daughter as two men approached her.

"A male in the white and grey jacket bent down and kissed the three-year-old girl on the face before walking away.

"The distressed mother tried to confront the men, but they just walked away, with a male in a red top laughing."

"We appreciate the CCTV footage is blurry, but this was a particularly distressing incident for those involved.

"We are appealing for anyone who may recognise this pair based on their distinctive clothing to please come forward with any information you have to help us identify these men."
