Police have released an image of man as they hunt a suspect who attacked an 83-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl on the same day.
The attacker attempted to push the schoolgirl into a car in Slough, before sexually assaulting the pensioner in nearby Stoke Poges last Friday.
Police have increased patrols in both areas as they attempt to track down the attacker.
The man approached his first victim, the girl, in Slough shortly after 2pm and asked her for directions.
He then asked her to input the details into his sat nav before trying to push her into the car.
She screamed and managed to get away before the man drove off.
Around the quarter of an hour later, the elderly woman was in her driveway when she was approached by a man unknown to her, who said he worked for the council.
