Police appeal following indecent exposure in Ripon
North Yorkshire Police has appealed for information following a report of indecent exposure in Ripon.
The force said a witness reported seeing a man on Park Street who had his hood up and both hands near his genitals.
The incident happened on Christmas Eve.
A police statement added:
“The witness reported she believed he was performing a sexual act.
“The male is described as white, aged between 60 and 75, with straight hair poking out of hood.
"He was wearing distinctive khaki-coloured socks with baggy trousers which looked strapped to the leg or belted. He was wearing a coat that was long and beige, and not waterproof.”
Officers have asked members of the public to “be vigilant” and report any information that could assist the investigation:
“Call 101, quoting reference 12230243453, for the attention of the York Initial Enquiry Team.”
