Police officers in Telford are investigating two separate incidents of exposure which occurred last Thursday 10 September 2015.

Police investigate two incidents of exposure in Telford

At around 3.50pm a 43-year-old local woman was walking from Burford, Brookside when she saw a man stood in between a block of flats, exposing himself. He did not speak to or approach the victim.

The offender is described as a black man aged between 30 and 40 years old, of a stocky build with very short hair. At the time of the incident he was wearing a black jumper over a purple shirt with a red lanyard around his neck.

The second incident occurred on the same date, around 4.30pm when a 16-year-old girl was walking from the town centre towards Malinslee.

As she was walking, another woman passed her in the opposite direction and warned her that there was a man further up the path exposing himself. She then saw a man leaving the area and, believing it to now be safe, continued down the path. She then noticed a man in the bushes exposing himself and ran away.

The man did not speak to or approach the victim.

The offender is described as a black man of a stocky build wearing a white short sleeved top.

We are appealing for anyone with information on either incident to come forward by calling police on 101, quoting incident number 413 or 452 respectively. We are particularly keen to hear from the woman in the second incident who warned the victim.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via their website: Crimestoppers UK
