Police in Lindsay are searching for a man who is allegedly exposing himself to women.
City of Kawartha Lakes Police Service say they’re investigating three separate incidents over the past two weeks in which around midnight a man approached a woman walking in the south-end of the town and allegedly exposed his genitals.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, 20 to 30 years old, and standing five feet to five-feet-five-inches tall, with a thin to average build.
He has light-coloured, straight hair and believed to be riding a BMX-style bike.
Police released surveillance images of the suspect on Thursday.
Police are reminding residents to consider their safety when walking alone at night and offer the following tips:
- Refrain from wearing headphones or other devices that interfere with hearing someone approaching you
- Don’t walk with a hood over your head, or other clothing that may limit visibility
- Travel in well-lit areas and avoid dark places with poor visibility
- Carry a cellphone to call 911 in an emergency
- Ensure someone knows the destination you are walking and the time expected to arrive
- If possible, don’t walk alone but travel with a person you trust
