Police are hunting a flasher who may have struck five times.

Officers are keeping an open mind whether four reports of indecent exposure in the Stuppington Lane/Cockering Road area of Canterbury are linked to an incident near to Rheims Way and Whitehall Road.

On that occasion a man exposed himself to a woman in her 50s as she walked along a wooded path.

She walked to the Toddlers Cove play area and asked a member of the public for help and contacted the police.

The offender escaped through the Toddlers Cove car park towards Whitehall Road.

He is described as being aged between 20 and 25 years old and was white with very pale skin.

He was about 6ft 2in tall and of a thin build.

He had a southern accent and was wearing a black shiny padded jacket with the hood up and grey or black tracksuit bottoms.

PC Michael Larkin said: "Patrols are paying special attention the area and anyone who sees any suspicious activity is asked to call 101 or 999 if a crime is in progress."

"We are also appealing for anyone who recognises the man in this image to contact us."

Anyone with information is asked to phone 01843 222289 quoting ZY/18240/16.
