Bus flasher targeted lone women

Man recalled to prison

A flasher who targets lone women on buses is being sought after three separate offences were reported on journeys between Exeter and Dawlish.

Police believe more incidents may be unreported at this stage.

The man exposes himself and then commits an indecent act in front of the women.

The first offence was nearly three months ago, but police have just released details. A woman in her 50s reported an incident on the lower deck of the Number 2 service between 8 a.m. and 8.40 a.m. on Thursday 3 June.

A further offence then took place in front of a woman in her 20s on Saturday 12 June between 4.50 p.m. and 4.55 p.m.

Another woman in her 50s reported an incident at around 8 a.m. on Tuesday 20 July.

Constable Helen Harris said: “I am specifically looking to see if there are any other victims and would encourage them to come forward. Incidents may have happened between May and Tuesday 3 August this year.”

A man aged in his 50s has been recalled to prison for allegedly breaching the terms of his licence. Enquiries are ongoing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police by calling 101, or emailing 101@dc.police.uk, quoting crime reference CR/045091/21.
