“I would encourage anyone who was in Luton town centre on September 2 and may have witnessed any of these incidents, or experienced anything themselves, to please come forward and report it to us.”

He added: “No one deserves to feel unsafe or be subjected to unwanted contact.

“We know some people may be reluctant to report incidents like this because they may feel they are too minor to warrant police action.
