Police are looking to find a man who followed a woman who was on her own along the promenade in Rhos on Sea.

The incident, which occurred at approximately 9.09pm on Tuesday, involved a man described as being about 5ft 8 inches tall and of a slight build.

He was reported to be wearing a black hooded top with the hood up, black jogging bottoms and lighter coloured trainers.

He was also wearing a black face mask which covered his face apart from his eyes.

Police said they are conducting regular patrols in the area and have asked anyone with information to contact 101 quoting Z012308.

Officers have also issued the following safety tips:

• Be prepared
  Plan your route in advance. Carry a charged mobile phone and some cash, and tell someone where you’re going.
• Be assertive
  From the moment you step out onto the street in the morning, look assertive and act and walk with confidence. This will always make you appear in control and much less vulnerable.
• Be aware
  Using a mobile phone, whether making a call or texting, wearing a hood or listening to loud music, all affect your awareness of your surroundings.
• Trust your instincts
  Try to avoid walking alone at night in places such as parks and side streets or any unfamiliar environment. If you do have to walk, stick to busy places where there is a lot of activity, CCTV and good lighting.
