AN APPEAL has been launched to find a man who indecently exposed himself in the Great Bedwyn area of the Kennet and Avon Canal.
Police are looking for any witnesses after a naked man was spotted near the canal at 1pm yesterday acting suspiciously in a white van.
A woman in her 50s was on a barge when she noticed the van parked nearby.
The man is described as white, aged in his late 30s or early 40s, and having a number of tattoos covering his body.
PC Howard Roger said: “We believe there were other people in the area at the time of the incident, including two women with children who were out dog walking.
“We are really keen to speak to these people, as well as anyone else who may have seen this man in the area, or anyone who may have information which could help us identify the suspect.”
Anyone with any information is asked to call the police on 101 or alternatively call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
