Indecent exposure - Lowestoft

27 January 2012

Police are appealing for information after a man indecently exposed himself to a 12-year-old girl in an alleyway at Dell Road around 8.30am on Wednesday, 25 January.

The girl was walking to school when she saw the man – described as white, around 5ft 8ins tall, of medium build, aged in his late teens to 20s, with short brown spiky hair with a pierced lower lip and stubble on his chin, wearing dark jogging bottoms and a dark coloured hooded top with a blue top underneath and white trainers – in the alleyway that leads to Victoria Road. She passed him and continued down the alley but then realised he was following her.

She looked back and saw he was a short distance behind her and he then pulled down his jogging bottoms exposing himself.

The girl ran away and the incident was later reported to police.

Officers believe this may be linked to another incident (publicised on Monday 23 January) that occurred in Kirkley Run on the morning of Friday 20 January where a 13-year-old girl was approached by a man and to another exposure incident which was only reported to police this week but that happened on Saturday 17 December (correct as December).

Here two 13-year-old girls reported a man, aged in his 20s to 30s, with brown curly hair and a big nose, wearing a blue and white coat with a hood and dark blue baggy jeans, had exposed himself to them around midday in Blackheath Woods.

Police are stepping up patrols in the area and are asking anyone who may have been in any of these areas around these times, anyone with information about the incidents, or anyone who may recognise the descriptions, to call PC 168 Griffith at Lowestoft on 101.
