POLICE have launched an appeal for witnesses after a man indecently exposed himself to passers-by.

At approximately 10.30pm on Saturday, September 24, a man and a woman were walking along an alleyway between Ringwood Road and Dorchester Road in Poole when a man exposed himself.

The offender is described as white, approximately 35-years-old, 5ft9, of medium build, with short dark hair that was receding at the front and light stubble on his face. He was wearing blue jeans and a blue jumper with the sleeves rolled up.

PC Craig Tiernan said: “I am appealing to anyone who saw a man matching the description given acting suspiciously in the area to please contact Dorset Police urgently.

“I would also like to hear from anyone who has any other information which may help me with my investigation.

"We do not believe this incident is linked to a previous indecent exposure which took place on Monday, September 19 in the town."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Dorset Police at dorset.police.uk, via email 101@dorset.pnn.police.uk or by calling 101, quoting incident number 26:229.
