Police have identified an elderly man they wanted to trace following an incident involving an 11-year-old girl in Mendlesham.
The girl was on a footpath on Glebe Way in the village on April 23 when she was approached by a man.
The man commented that she ‘looked pretty’ before reaching out to her. The girl then went home and told her parents – she was unhurt.
Suffolk police said the man has now been identified and spoken to by officers.
The force thanked the public for their help with the matter.
