The distressed mother of the child attempted to confront the men, but they left the scene, with one of them laughing.
While walking with her mother, a three-year-old girl was approached and kissed by two men, prompting police to search for the suspects.
The incident occurred along Barrowby Gate in Grantham, Lincolnshire, on June 22 at approximately 2:55 p.m. (last Wednesday).
Two men approached the mother and daughter as they walked along the road; one of them, wearing a white and grey jacket, bent down and kissed the child on the cheek before walking away.
The distressed mother attempted to confront the men, but they fled in the direction of Dysart Road, with the second man in the red shirt laughing as he left the scene.
The Lincolnshire Police Department has released a CCTV image of two men they wish to speak with.
“We understand that the CCTV footage is blurry, but this incident was particularly traumatic for those involved,” the police said.
We are asking anyone who recognizes these men based on their clothing to please come forward with any information you may have to assist us in identifying them.
