Police have released an image of a man they wish to trace in connection with 11 incidents of indecent exposure by a flasher who dresses in high heels, stockings and suspenders. Since January, a man, thought to be in his 20s, has exposed himself on a number of occasions in the Beaumont Leys area while wearing women's underwear. All of the incidents have taken place between January and April, this year, and have been centred around St Margaret's Way, Blackbird Road, Anstey Lane, Parker Drive, Heacham Drive, Krefield Way and Calver Hey Road. Police are also looking into the possibility that the same pervert is involved in a number of other incidents which have taken place since December 2012 in the same area. Officers have described the man as white, skinny and in his 20s. According to victims' descriptions of him, he has worn several different long coats or robes to cover his underwear - and covers his face with a woolly hat and a scarf. Officers have now compiled a new image from information provided by one of the victims and are using it to help them identify the man responsible. DC Caroline Burrows, the investigating officer, said: "We have been carrying out extensive enquiries to locate the individual responsible for these incidents and local officers have been carrying out extra patrols to reassure the local community since these most recent incidents have happened. "These were extremely distressing incidents for the victims and it is vitally important that people contact us if they know anything about the incidents. "We would like to speak to anyone who may recognise this man or anyone who witnessed any of these incidents. "We are also keen to speak to anyone else who has also been a victim who may not yet have reported the incidents to police." The mother of two of the victims previously told the Mercury that her teenage daughters, aged 14 and 15, were left "absolutely terrified" when they were chased by the man. The youngsters were confronted by the pervert in Heacham Drive, Leicester, in April. He exposed himself to the pair after chasing them, their mother said. "They were absolutely petrified and could barely breathe," she said. "My eldest is really upset and has had nightmares about it and has been on edge ever since." Anyone with information can call police on 101. Alternatively can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
