Police Hunt Foleshill Flasher

Police are hunting a man who indecently exposed himself to two 11 year old lads in Coventry.

The two friends were in Hampton Road, Foleshill, Coventry at about 9.30pm on Saturday 5 May when they were approached by a man.

He indecently exposed himself and the two frightened lads ran off to another friend's house nearby.

The boys were not physically injured, but very distressed.

They described the man as being white, very scruffy, aged about 50 with ginger, curly hair and a brown beard. He was wearing a green/brown coat, blue shirt and was carrying a newspaper. It is possible he had been drinking.

He would also like to hear from anyone who was at a pub in the area who may have seen this man. PC Twist can be contacted on 024 7653 9849 or 7653 9020.
