Police are hunting a man who has been exposing himself to girls outside schools in Irlams O' th Height.

Six incidents have been reported to the police since the 10 November last year.

On each occasion, the offender is said to have driven a white Transit van past girls walking near to their school or college, and expose himself through the window.

In the most recent incident at about 1.15pm on Monday 25 January, a girl was walking back to the Oasis Academy from her lunch break along Claremont Road when a van stopped in front of her and a man could be seen with his trousers down exposing himself.

The offender is described as a white man, in his 30s, with short dark hair.

Officers from the Claremont Neighbourhood Policing Team have written to Pendleton College, Buile Hill High School and Oasis High School to warn pupils and provide reassurance.

Filth

Police Constable Danielle Southwell said: "It is utterly shocking that students are being subjected to such filth. We have offered support to the victims and have worked very hard with the schools in recent weeks.

"We are continuing to warn people in the area about this re-occurrence and would like to reassure the public that we are doing all we can to trace the offender.

"We would ask anyone who has information that can help us get in touch."

Anyone with any information is asked to call police on 0161 856 5084 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
