Officers appeal for help identifying man believed to be involved in four flashing incidents
Officers investigating four flashing offences in the Ripley and Alfreton areas are appealing for help identifying the man involved.
All four incidents have taken place in secluded areas and have seen the man expose himself to women in their 60s and 70s.
The first incident happened at the corner of the Broadway and The Green in Swanwick at around 5.30pm on 7 October.
The second incident occurred at around 2pm on 11 October at Sleetmoor Wood off Sleetmoor Lane, Somercotes.
The third incident took place the following day in Cray’s Hill Recreation Ground in Leasbrook at around midday.
The fourth incident took place on the Greenway, Ripley, at the Pit Top Stretch near Clumber Close at around 2.15pm on 13 October.
All four women gave similar description of the man being in his late 40s or 50s, around 5ft 6ins tall, balding, he did not wear any glasses or have any facial hair and was often wearing dark clothing. On two occasions the man had a black drawstring bag with him.
