POLICE have stepped up patrols in a Cheshire town after reports of a flasher close to a bus stop.
Officers are now appealing for information following the reports of suspicious activity in Congleton.
At 3pm on Friday, November 17, a 15-year-old girl was at a bus stop in Box Lane when she spotted a man indecently exposing himself.
There was a similar incident nearby on Tuesday, November 21.
On both occasions the suspect didn’t speak or approach anyone.
He is described as being aged between 20 and 30 years old, white, wearing a dark hoodie and grey jogging bottoms.
Sgt John Roberts said: “There were two other people at the bus stop who may have seen the incident or the man at the bus stop. I’d urge them to get in touch as well as anyone with information, or who has seen any similar incidents in the area.
“I’d like to reassure residents that we are making a number of enquiries to establish the identity of the suspect and have increased patrols in the area.”
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or via the website quoting IML 1693276. Alternatively, information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
