04/01/11….Phoenix Trail Flasher sought by police
THAMES Valley Police is appealing for information after a man exposed himself to a woman in Thame on Friday (31/12).
The incident happened at 12.30pm as a 42-year-old woman was jogging along the Phoenix Trail, the walking and cycling path that leads from Thame to Princess Risborough.
The woman was jogging along the trail and was near to the bridge at Thame Park Road when she saw a man standing on a raised platform area besides the trail. As she approached him, he exposed himself to her.
The man is described as white, approximately 45 years-old, of medium build and with mousey brown hair. He was wearing sunglasses, a white T-shirt, a dark-coloured jacket, possibly brown, and what the victim believes were jeans.
PC Andy Smith said: ?I would like to speak to anyone who was in the area on New Year?s Eve who may have seen this man about, and might know where he came from or went to.
?Perhaps someone recognises this description and knows who this man is? I would urge anyone with information to come forward and speak to me as soon as possible.?
Thame’s Neighbourhood Sgt, Steve Hookham, told Thamenews.net this afternoon: “As a result of this incident we shall be increasing our foot and patrols and cyle patrols by PCSOs in the area of the Phoenix Trail behind Thame, to one or two per shift.”
Anyone with information should contact PC Smith via the 24-hour Thames Valley Police Enquiry Line on 0845 8 505 505. Alternatively, you can contact the Crimestoppers charity anonymously on 0800 555 111.
