Man repeatedly exposes himself in Caerphilly town

Police are looking for a man who has repeatedly exposed himself to lone women on several occasions.

There have been five separate reported incidents within the last two months with each one happening on weekdays between 6am and 6.30am in and around the Pontygwindy Road and Nantgarw Road areas of Caerphilly town.

All were witnessed by lone women walking in the area at the time. Police say the man has made no attempt to approach the women or engage them in any conversation but has made no attempts to conceal his actions either.

He has been described as white, in his late 20s to early 40s, and wearing dark clothing.

Gwent Police said it would like to reassure the public that it is actively investigating the incidents with increased police patrols in the area.

However the force has also asked people to remain vigilant.

Anyone with information can call Gwent Police on 101 quoting crime number 1700417245 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    Surely if the police have narrowed it down to 30 minutes, cant the police have people under cover as a way of stopping him. Or. Here is a radical new thought we dont the police go out on foot and look for him instead of driving around.

      It would appear to be common sense !
      Easier to let the public do your work for you – let the public identify the male and then all the police need to do is go around and arrest him

      There are no police anymore. £13billion in overseas aid would provide the uk with approximately 70k officers and equipment. Considering we’ve just lost 40k in austerity cutbacks it can only be considered a healthy start.
