POLICE in East Lancashire are still hunting for a man who pestered a 12- year-old girl on a bus.
The schoolgirl was travelling from Colne to Burnley bus station when a suspicious man got on board and started staring at her.
She decided to sit next to him, but then the man started making sexual suggestions.
The man got off at the Duke Bar stop, Burnley, and the girl reported the incident to bus station staff.
The incident happened at noon on Saturday. The offender is described as Asian, aged in his late 20s to early 30s, with short dark hair, and a strong Asian accent.
He was wearing a black T.shirt, black jeans and shoes.
Anyone who was on the bus, or has any more information, is asked to contact DC John McNamara on 01282 472144.

I have just read the story about the Brierfield pervert DJ who filmed up girl's skirts and had indecent photos of children on his computer. The judge tells him he is unlikely to have to go to jail.So where is the deterrent for this pervert on the bus? If the poloce catch him and go through all the rigmarole of getting him to court will some judge also let him off?
