String of indecent exposures in Aberdeen
Police are still trying to figure out if it's the same man responsible
Last updated 16th Mar 2017
The police are appealing for witnesses and information following two separate indecent exposures in Aberdeen.
A man exposed himself to two women on Langdykes Avenue near Altens Industrial Estate around 8pm on Tuesday. He is described as being 30 to 50-years-old, 5ft9 - 5ft10 in height, of an average build, with short black hair, slight stubble and a tanned complexion. It is understood he was wearing a black waterproof type jacket with a hood, dark trousers and dark shoes.
Just an hour and half later, a man exposed himself to two women at Duthie Park around 9.25pm. They described him as 40 to 60-years-old, around 5ft7 in height, of an average build, with dark hair which was balding on top. It is understood he was wearing a waist length black jacket, dark grey hoody underneath and dark blue jeans.
Both investigations are at a very early stage, and inquiries are being carried out to establish if the incidents are linked.
Officers are also still carrying out inquiries following an indecent exposure at Seaton Park during the morning of Friday March 10 near the sports pitch.
DS Andrew Machray, who is leading the investigation, said: "Incidents of this nature are historically very rare in the city and in the North East generally. However I know that a spate of such crass behaviour will be a worry for the public. One report of this kind is one too many and we are working closely with local policing teams to identify and trace those responsible.
"No one has been harmed or approached during any of these incidents, however I would still urge people to be on their guard particularly if you are out after it gets dark. The females involved were obviously disturbed by what they saw and this won't be tolerated.
"We are following several lines of inquiry in relation to each report, however I must urge anyone with information to please get in touch. Were you in any of the areas and saw anyone or anything unusual? Or do you know of anyone matching the descriptions provided?
"Call Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 if you would prefer to remain anonymous."
