Suspicious series of flashing incidents.

City dwellers in Sholing experienced a series of indecent exposures in the city, which took place between August 28 and November 11.

The police are still trying to investigate the suspicious cases that have been confirmed in at least four places and a man that has been seen by the public and who is also suspected to be involved in all of them.

The man who has been usually seen by mid aged women, was described as white in his late teens or early 20s of slim build and with brown hair.

All the cases happened during the daytime, when adults and children usually head off to get home after work and school, which suggests that the police don’t seem to be very responsive if the cases still happened after receiving 2 or 3 reports in different periods of time.

The first happened around 3.20pm on August 28 in Sholing valley off Anson Drive, when a 23-year old woman, who went for an afternoon walk to the park with her dog experienced a view of a man sat on a bench, exposing himself while staring at her for sometime.

Similar cases happened again in September 9 and October 31, when two mid-aged women saw a man mainly in the Sholing area, exposing himself.

The last reported incident happened on the Wednesday November 11 when a 14-year-old boy walking through Millers Pond saw a man naked from waist down committing an indecent act.

Police are now appealing for anyone with information about who the man maybe or who has been also flashed at to get in contact with them. They are asked to contact PC Rachel Gallimore at the Public Protection Unit at Shirley Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
