Police hunt for two men after four 13 year-old boys and two schoolgirls sexually assaulted

Police have released CCTV footage of two men they would like to speak to.

Police have released CCTV footage of two men they want to speak to following two sexual assaults in Hackney.

On Wednesday 8 July last year, police were called after four schoolboys – all aged 13 years-old – were sexually assaulted that morning.

Two men had approached the boys on their way to school on a footpath on Lower Clapton Road. All four schoolboys were able to get way and told their teachers what had happened.

The police believe the same two suspects may have also sexually assaulted two schoolgirls in a separate incident, close to where the first incident took place.

Detectives are urging any further victims or witnesses or people who recognise the men to contact them.

The first suspect is a white man, believed to be in his 20s, clean shaven and of medium build. He has short light brown hair and was wearing a black hooded jacket and black tracksuit trousers with light blue stripes.

The second man is also white, in his 20s and of medium build. He has short blond hair and was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact DC Edward Lewis on 101 or 07500 850625 quoting reference number 190125 (suspect 1) or 190123 (suspect 2) or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
