Woman touched inappropriately by a customer in Cockburn Street, Edinburgh A shopkeeper has been touched inappropriately by a customer as she worked alone in the store. The 22-year-old was in the Lava store on Cockburn Street, Edinburgh when a man came into the shop at 11.30am on Thursday. After spending a few minutes browsing, he walked up behind the woman and touched her. She challenged him and he ran out the shop, down Cockburn Street and into Craig's Close. The woman reported the incident to police on Monday and they are now appealing for witnesses. The man was tanned, between 40 and 50 years old, 6ft tall, of average build but with a beer belly and dark shaved hair. He was wearing a white shirt, dark trousers, smart black shoes. A Police Scotland spokesman said: "The woman was not injured as a result of this incident, but was understandably shaken.

Similarly, anyone who recognises the description of the suspect, or who has any other information relevant to this investigation is also asked to contact police immediately.
