Police say the woman was walking alone when a man on a bike grabbed her.
The San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office says it’s increasing patrols in Half Moon Bay after a woman reported being groped on a popular walking trail this past weekend. They say the woman was walking alone when a man on a bike grabbed her.The chief says, because Half Moon Bay is such a small, tight-knit community, she wants to make sure people in this area are aware of what happened in hopes of preventing it from happening again.
Albin says the woman made a police report and now police want the community to be on alert while using the trails."Because though this is the only incident that we have reported to us, we would like to keep it that way. So, we just want to make sure that everybody’s aware which is a good thing to do anytime that you are walking alone, whether you’re a man or a woman," said Albin.
