Police are investigating an incident of indecent exposure in north Worcestershire.

It happened on the canal towpath near The Lock Public House at Wolverley, near Kidderminster.

A man, aged in his early 20s with a pale complexion, exposed himself to women walking along the canal.

The man removed most of his clothes and was wearing only a Santa Claus hat and kneepads.

He eventually rode off on a pedal cycle - and police have revealed a number of similar incidents were reported last year.

Kidderminster police would like to hear from anyone who may have been the area at around midday on 28 April to contact them.
