Police release images after indecent exposure outside care home in Newbury

Police have released CCTV images of a man officers would like to speak to in connection with two incidents of exposure in Newbury.

The first incident was reported on Sunday, March 27, in Hutton Close, Newbury, when a man entered the car park of the Willows Edge Care Home and exposed himself from the waist down.

A second incident occurred at around 9.35pm on Saturday, May 21.

A man was standing on the other side of a fence behind properties on Huntingdon Gardens.

He was naked from the waist down and performed an indecent act while looking towards the properties.

He was aware he had been spotted but this did not deter him, but he left while a member of the public called police.

Thames Valley Police believe the man pictured may have vital information.

Detective Sergeant Darren Little, of the Priority Crime Team, based at Newbury police station, said: “I am appealing to anybody who witnessed either incident to please get in touch with us.

“We believe that the two incidents reported are linked, but are keeping an open mind.

“I would also appeal that if anybody has CCTV footage in the area or any dash-cam footage if you were driving in the area around the time of either incident, to please check any recordings in case it has captured something that could assist our investigation.

“I appreciate that the images we are releasing are poor, but I am releasing these in case someone recognises the individual.

“To contact us, call 101 or make a report on our website, quoting reference number 43220294066.

“Alternatively, you can provide information anonymously to independent charity Crimestoppers by calling 0800 555 111 or via its website.
