POLICE PROBE<\/h2>\n

A States of Jersey Police spokesman said: "The people we would like to speak to are: Two men who were seen on CCTV talking to an honorary police officer outside the Trafalgar pub in St Aubin at around 10.15pm about some concerns they had.<\/p>\n

"The first man was wearing dark trousers, a white top and white shoes, thought to be trainers. <\/p>\n

"The other man is wearing a dark top, with blue shorts with white stripes down the side and very distinctive bright red or orange trainers.<\/p>\n

"Another witness police would like to speak to was originally in the Trafalgar pub, and then got the bus into town where he interacted with those involved in the incident. <\/p>\n

"This man is described as over 40 years old, and wearing a distinctive Hawaiian sleeveless vest.<\/p>\n

"These people are not suspected of any wrongdoing and are not involved in the incident we are investigating. <\/p>\n

"We believe they could help with our enquiries and would ask them to contact us as soon as possible."<\/p>\n
