Police are investigating a report of indecent assault at Naracoorte last week.
About 8.20pm on November 10 a woman was walking her dog along Memorial Drive when she was approached from behind by a man, who grabbed the hood of her jumper causing her to drop a puppy she was also carrying.

He was wearing a short-sleeved dark-coloured shirt.
