Police launch appeal after indecent exposure incident in Leamington

A woman in her 50s was walking on her own along the canal between Gulliman’s Way and Radbrooke Road at around 6.20am on 8 May when she witnessed a man exposing himself.

The offender was wearing a blue hoody, a black mouth mask, light jeans and white trainers. He was around 6ft tall and of stocky build.

Detective Inspector Ruby Nailor from Leamington CID said: “We are treating this incident as linked to other recent offences in the area. We are extremely concerned by this behaviour and are working hard to bring the person responsible to justice.

“I am appealing to anyone who was in the area and can help identify the man involved to contact police. We’re also keen to hear from anyone with dash cam footage from the area around the time of the incident.

“An incident of indecent exposure can be extremely distressing for those who witness it and we take all reports extremely seriously. I would urge anyone who is a victim to contact police as quickly as possible rather than wait until they get home. All incidents of indecent exposure will receive an immediate police response and reporting promptly gives us the best chance of catching offenders.”

Anyone who may be able to help police is asked to contact 101 quoting incident 60 of 8 May 2021. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers in 0800 555 111 or online.

A 25-year-old man from Dudley arrested in connection with the series of offences remains under investigation having been arrested on 29 April.
