Police link spate of indecent exposures

Police say they are linking at least three reports of a man indecently exposing himself to women.

The incidents since late November happened in Loughborough and involved women in their 20s, the Leicestershire force said.

The locations include Forest Road on 25 November at about 18:00 GMT, a footpath off Thorpe Hill on 29 December at about 10:00 GMT, and a site near Emmanuel Way on 15 January at about 14:00 GMT.

Sgt Stephanie Develling said police were carrying out uniformed and plain-clothes patrols in the area "to monitor and offer reassurance".

She said: "We appreciate [the incidents] will cause concern.

""We are carrying out full inquiries into these reports and are appealing to anyone with any information to come forward to us."

The force said it was seeking to build a description of the man as "part of our ongoing investigation and inquiries".
