Man exposed himself to woman as she walked her dog on Trans Pennine Trail in Derbyshire

The most recent incident was reported to have taken place between around 8.45am and 9.15am on Friday, January 17.

A woman had been walking her dog when a man called out to her and then exposed himself to her.

Further similar incidents took place on Friday January 3, at around 9.30am, and on Thursday, December 19 between 12.20pm and 12.30pm.

Although it is not certain the offender is the same man, officers are considering it to be a possibility.

He has been described as being in his 20s or 30s, white and having a local sounding accent, and wearing green or yellow workwear, or camouflage type trousers and a black top.

None of the victims have reported being physically hurt or threatened during the incidents.

Officers from the local safer neighbourhood policing team have been carrying out patrols along the Trans Pennine Trail, to offer reassurance and talk to people about any concerns they may have.

Plain clothed operations have also taken place, and police say they would like to hear from anyone who thinks they may have seen this man or have any information which could help us.

Safer neighbourhood team sergeant Anna Woodhouse said: “Local residents have understandably told us that they feel upset by these incidents, and concerned about walking along the trail.

“I would like to reassure residents that we take any incidents of this nature extremely seriously and our officers are doing all that we can to trace the man, or men, responsible. As part of that, our patrols have been increased in the local area to actively target the offender and to offer a visible presence.

“Please contact us if this has happened to you and you haven’t yet reported it, if you’ve witnessed an incident, noticed any suspicious behaviour or if you have any information which could help us to identify this man to get in touch.”

If you have any information, please call police on 101.
