AN e-fit of a man police suspect of a spate of indecent exposures in Deane has been released by police.

A 15-year-old girl became the latest victim of the man police think are behind the spree.

Officers are linking the incident on Sunday afternoon to six others committed in the space of 11 days earlier this month.

The teenager was walking in Deane Church Lane, close to its junction with Chulsey Street, when she was flashed at about 12.30pm on Sunday, June 28.

She was approached by a man, who tried to engage her in conversation before exposing himself to her as they walked along.

The suspect is described as white, about 6ft tall, in his late 30s, with dark brown hair and a slim build.

During the last incident, on June 28, he was wearing a brown or khaki waist-length jacket and dark blue jeans.

Det Insp Charlotte Cadden said: “The young girl was left understandably upset and shaken by this incident, which was terrifying to her at the time.

“I would like to reassure the local community that we have extra neighbourhood officers patrolling the area in a bid to prevent further incidents."
