Police hunting 'Fordingbridge flasher' arrest New Forest man

A MAN has been arrested in connection with six indecent exposure incidents in Fordingbridge.

Police made the breakthrough as they investigated the offences which took place in Frog Lane within an eight-month period.

The 49-year-old suspect, who is from the New Forest, was detained on Sunday and questioned by officers.

He was released from custody, but a Hampshire police spokesperson said he remained under investigation pending further enquiries.

One of the incidents took place in a field near the sewage works around 3.20pm on Saturday 25th January.

A 32-year-old woman walking her dog saw a man expose himself and commit an indecent act.

Two more incidents took place at the same spot last Tuesday, police said, adding to previous ones on 22nd January, 6th June and 13th September last year.

Officers are urging those who saw any of the six incidents to come forward and contact the force on 101, quoting crime reference number 44200031028, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
