Police are investigating reports of a flasher at a local beauty spot.

Witnesses to indecent exposures in Macclesfield Forest are being urged to come forward, following a number of reports made to Cheshire Police over the past several months.

Most recently, the suspect exposed himself to women walking in the forest on Tuesday, September 30.

He is described as being white, possibly in his 20s to 40s, with dark hair.

Sergeant Claire Lloyd said: "While he doesn't make any attempt to approach them, it does cause them some alarm.

"We are continuing to make enquiries to find this man and are urging anyone who sees him to ring us immediately on 999 with your What3Words location so we can make every effort to catch him.

"If you haven't already, you can download the What3Words app from your phone app store.

"If you have seen similar incidents, but haven't reported it to police, please get in touch.

"Everyone has a right to feel safe when they go for a walk in the countryside. We will not tolerate this behaviour, and again would urge anyone who sees him to contact us immediately."

Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 or via the website quoting IML 2186120.

Alternatively, information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
