AN appeal is going out from police for people to identify six people wanted for sexual assaults while on London buses.

One case was on a 395 between Greenford and Northolt and another on a 427 on the Uxbridge Road, Hayes.

Det Sgt Ian Beattie said: "Sexual assaults on buses in London are very rare, but when they do happen we prioritise supporting the victim and catching those responsible.

"The technology available to use is very strong and we encourage anyone who is a victim or witness to contact police. "

In one incident, a woman was sexually assaulted on a 395 between Northolt and Greenford around noon on December 17.

The same day, a girl was sexually assaulted on board a 427 in the Uxbridge Road area of Hayes at around 1.30pm.

Det Sgt Beattie added: "These despicable acts are unacceptable and will not be tolerated."

Anyone with information is asked to contact police via 101 or tweet @MetCC.
