Police are searching for a suspect after reports of three sexual assaults in Bedford on Thursday night.

Investigators say in each case the women reported being touched in a “sexual manner” by a stranger.

The first incident happened at around 7 p.m. on a pathway of Amesbury Gate near Larry Uteck Boulevard.

About an hour later, two more cases were reported near the Kearney Lake Dam Trail.

The suspect is described as a man in his late teens to early 20s with a dark complexion, short dark hair, a thin build, and standing at around 6 feet tall.

He was wearing a blue tank top, dark pants, and sneakers.
