There have been reports of a man in Topsham approaching women and trying to touch them while making inappropriate comments.
Local residents have taken to Facebook to warn others about him.
Yesterday the elderly man is said to have told a shop assistant his trouser pocket zip was stuck and asked her to help undo it.
Another posting this afternoon refers to a man again approaching a woman and making comments about her appearance- and the same man is also thought to have frightened a woman on the 57 bus this week.
