Indecent exposure in Prestatyn

26/01/2012

Police are appealing for information after a young man exposed himself to a woman as she walked her dog along Prestatyn promenade.

 

The 42-year-old woman was walking near the Nova centre at around 4.45pm yesterday, Wednesday 25th January, when she was followed a youth.

 

As she made her way towards the Beaches Hotel, the young man shouted to her. He then lay on the grass bank with his trousers down and indecently exposed himself to her.

 

The youth is described as being between 15 and 16 years of age. He had dark hair and was wearing a light grey hooded sweatshirt with the hood around his face and dark denim trousers.

 

Officers are keen to speak to two young women who made a call to the police from a telephone kiosk in Prestatyn at 7.55pm the previous night (January 24) reporting a man acting suspiciously with his trousers down.

 

DS Mark Abbott commented: “Although incidents of this nature are very unusual in North Wales we are determined to identify the individual involved and bring him to justice.”

 

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident on Wednesday or who may have seen a young man acting suspiciously in the area is asked to contact DS Abbott on 101. Alternatively, individuals can also contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
