Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a schoolgirl was allegedly grabbed by two men outside a Co-op. Sussex Police were called at around 10.30am on December 13 to reports of the incident in Southwater, West Sussex.
The girl, 11, was outside the shop in Lintot Square, where it is understood one man went to shake her hand.

One was around 5ft tall and or was of large build, and the other was around 5’4″ and of slim build, Sussex Police added.
