Detectives in serial flasher hunt
Detectives are hunting a flasher after two girls, aged 16 and 17, were subjected to indecent exposures in two separate incidents.

In the first, on Monday, a man flashed at the 16-year-old girl in the Safeway car park at Woosehill Shopping Centre, Wokingham, Berkshire, at 2000 BST.

A man of a similar description then exposed himself to the 17-year-old along Reading Road on Friday afternoon.

The man is described as white, of stocky build, and aged 35 to 40.

'Incidents possibly linked'

In the first incident he wore a blue baseball cap, a navy blue t-shirt and blue shorts.

During the incident involving the 17-year-old, he wore black shorts and a t-shirt.

Pc Jen Banfield of Thames Valley Police said: "I believe the two incidents may be connected.

"I appeal to anyone who saw a man of this description in the areas where the exposures took place to contact the police immediately.

"I also appeal to anyone who may have been subjected to this type of behaviour, however insignificant you think it may be, to contact the police."
