Gloucestershire Police have arrested a man following an incident of indecent exposure involving a teenage girl in Stroud. The event occurred between 6:45 pm and 7:00 pm on Tuesday, April 7, along Folly Lane.
According to the report, the man exposed himself to a 14-year-old girl and then began to follow her down the lane. He stopped and turned around upon seeing another man approaching. The suspect then got into a black Peugeot and drove off.
A witness captured a photo of the vehicle’s license plate, which helped police trace the car. This led to the arrest of a 22-year-old man from Gloucester on Sunday, April 12, on suspicion of indecent exposure. The man has since been released on bail.
