Police search for Bilton flasher
Police are searching for a man who exposed himself to members of the public in Bilton yesterday.
The incident, which occurred near a pond close to the sandy banks of the River Nidd, off Bilton Lane, was reported to the police at 2.42pm.
Police have stepped-up patrols in the area to try to find the man, who it is believed has indecently exposed himself previously this year.
North Yorkshire Police is asking people to come forward with possible sightings of the man – either clothed or unclothed – or with details of any suspicious behaviour along the riverbank or in nearby woodland between 2pm and 4pm yesterday or recently.
