“I would encourage anyone who has been a victim of indecent exposure who has not already come forward or anyone who has seen any males acting suspiciously in the area to please report it.

“The information that you have may seem insignificant but could be of great help to our investigation when put together with other victim or witness accounts.

“I would like to reassure the community that we are working with our neighbourhood policing colleagues who are carrying out increased high visibility patrols in the Bretton area to provide reassurance and deter any offenders from committing further offences.”
