A MAN flashed a teenage girl as she walked her dog in Bridport on Friday (November 24).

Police are appealing for witnesses, or anyone with information, to come forward after an incident at shortly before 5pm in Pymore Road, close to the junction with Dodhams Lane.

It is reported that a male teenager attempted to get the victim’s attention before indecently exposing himself, Dorset Police said. The victim managed to quickly leave the area.

The suspect is described as aged in his mid to late teens, of slim build with short curly black hair and was wearing mostly dark-coloured clothing.

PC Tim Sturgess, of Bridport police, said: “Officers attended and carried out searches of the area, but the offender was not located.

“This was understandably a very frightening incident for the victim and we are carrying out numerous enquiries to identify the suspect.

“I am appealing to anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area, or has relevant information to assist my investigation, to please get in touch.”
