E-Fit released following indecent exposures

Police have released an E-Fit of a man they are seeking in connection with public decency offences in Newton Abbot.

Officers are investigating two incidents where the man has exposed himself to women and carried out an act of public indecency.

Both offences happened in Brunel Road and within a week of each other.

In the first incident around 5.45pm on Wednesday 17 December, a woman in her 40s was walking along the road when she saw a man in the grounds of Forde House exposing himself. As she walked by he made a comment to her, but she continued on walking.

On Monday 22 December around 4.15pm, another woman saw a man close to the over bridge by the industrial estate exposing himself.

Police are linking the two offences and seeking a white man, aged mid to late 20s. On both occasions he was wearing black woolly hat or beanie hat and a dark zip-up jacket/hoody.

A police spokesman said: “Police are keen to identify and trace the man pictured in this E-Fit. Anyone with any information as to whom this man may be is urged to contact police.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111, quoting crime reference CR/132650/14
