Man exposed himself to 11-year-old girl

Police in Basingstoke are appealing for information following an incident in Chineham on Wednesday, June 24.

Between 7pm and 7.10pm, an 11-year-old girl was walking through Petty’s Copse when a man exposed himself to her.

The girl ran home and reported the incident to her mother, who then called police.

The man is described as:

• Around 50 years old
• 6ft tall
• Large build
• Dark hair and balding
• Wearing nothing from the waist down

PC John Goddard, from the Basingstoke targeted patrol team, said: “This was a frightening incident for the young girl and we are working hard to trace this man.

“I am keen to hear from anyone who was walking through the woods around the time of the incident, or who regularly uses that area, who may have seen this man or has noticed anyone acting suspiciously.

“I would like to remind residents and young people to be vigilant when walking alone and reassure people that we have increased our patrols in the area.”
