A 72-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a series of indecent exposure incidents at a supermarket in the Midlands. The suspect is alleged to have lurked near the toilets before approaching women on their own and exposing himself.
Arrest after CCTV review
Officers were called to a store on Chesterfield Road South, Mansfield, on July 25, following reports of a man exposing himself to women. After reviewing CCTV footage, a man was arrested on suspicion of 14 counts of indecent exposure.
He has since been released on conditional bail while further enquiries are carried out.
Police appeal for information
PSI Claire Celino, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "Everyone should feel safe when they are out in their communities, which is why we take reports of this nature extremely seriously."
"Thanks to the work of the officers involved, a suspect has been arrested in connection with this distressing behaviour and is the subject of an ongoing investigation."
"We would like to thank everyone who has come forward so far and want to reassure the public that we remain committed to tackling behaviour that causes alarm, harassment and distress in our communities."
The force has appealed for anyone with information that could assist the investigation to contact them on 101, quoting reference number 26000445543.
