Police search for man who broke into Govan flat and exposed himself

A woman woke in the early hours of this morning to find a man exposing himself in her flat in Govan.

He is described as white, aged in his early 20s, with short brown hair, of slim build and around 5ft 7ins and spoke with a Scottish accent. He was wearing a dark coloured jogging top and blue jogging bottoms.

Detective Sergeant Larry Dempsey, of Govan CID, said: “This was an upsetting experience and fortunately the woman was not injured.

“The man left via the communal stair area and I am appealing to anyone who may have seen him to get in touch.

“If you saw this man acting suspiciously in the area, or have private CCTV that could assist with our investigation, then please contact us.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland via 101, quoting incident number 0379 of Tuesday, 9 August, 2022, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
