Police patrols have stepped up in Roundhay Park after reports of women being targeted by a flasher on numerous occasions.
Officers from Leeds District Safeguarding team and the North East Leeds Neighbourhood Policing Team are investigating several reports made in recent weeks of indecent exposure offences targeted against women walking in the park. Police have been patrolling in 'plain clothes' in the park to try and identify suspects and visible NPT officers have begun patrols on electric bikes to cover more ground when deployed there.
Meanwhile, officers are also continuing local enquiries with resident in the area and working with experts to build a better understanding of the offender’s behaviour patterns. No-one was reported to have been hurt in the reported incidents.
