Police believe he targeted her after following her into the shop, at the Intu Potteries Shopping Centre in Hanley at around 1pm November 10.

He was described as being in his early 30s, and was wearing a black top, blue jeans with black Adidas trainers.

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said:"We are desperate to identify the individual caught in the act in the CCTV footage. Anyone with any information should call Staffordshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 341 of November 10."
