A man has been arrested for allegedly filming up the skirts of teenage girls at two stores.

The 21-year-old was taken into custody following reports a man had been behaving inappropriately with a mobile phone at Tesco Metro in Gravel Walk in Canterbury and the Primark in nearby Rose Lane.

On both occasions it is said girls were victim to 'upskirting', in which a device is used to film a victim's underwear from below.

The offences are reported to have occurred on Saturday, April 20, between 1.30pm and 2.30pm.

The suspect, from Ramsgate, was arrested on the same day, but only now have police released an appeal for witnesses.

He has been released under investigation.

Officers are urging anyone who was in either store on April 20 and witnessed something which could assist the investigation to call them on 01843 222289, quoting the reference number 46/75559/19.
