blog：Hunt for man who flashed at children in Brampton
Officers issued the photofit as investigations continued to find the pervert who approached two girls and a boy – aged nine, 10 and 12 – on land known as The Mote.
This indecent exposure happened at about 7pm on Sunday, August 2 – but another was reported to officers in Brampton nearly a week before.
The descriptions of the two men in each case differ. Police, however, say they are “keeping an open mind” about whether the two crimes are linked.
The man who exposed himself at The Mote was white, in his 40s and had a bald head.
He was wearing a baseball cap, a black top and black tracksuit bottoms with a stripe down the leg.
Inspector Neil Thomson, Brampton’s police chief, said: “We are investigating this incident as a priority in Brampton.
“We have produced an electronic image of the offender based on the children’s description.
“We would like to speak to anyone who recognises the man or who saw anyone acting suspiciously in the area on or around Sunday August 2.
“We are particularly keen to speak to a couple with a black puppy who were in the area at around the time of the incident and may hold vital information.
“The puppy escaped while they were walking it and the three children helped them retrieve it.”
The other indecent exposure happened on Monday July 27 at about 4pm near High Cross Street.
This time a man exposed himself to a woman. He was white, in his mid 30s, possibly with dark hair.
“Police officers are keeping an open mind as to whether the two incidents are linked,” added a force spokesman.
