Det Sgt James Robson said officers were doing all they could to identify the person responsible.
The force has released the following details about the incidents:

- On 12 January, a 16-year-old girl was approached by a man on Poplar Place, Thamesmead, who asked her for directions. He then pushed her against a fence and sexually touched her.
- On 13 January, a 17-year-old girl was followed off the 422 bus and into a property by a man at Artillery Place, Woolwich. He grabbed the back of her leg and caused her to fall when he then sexually touched her.
