A man has been arrested after exposing himself in a residential street in Luton earlier this week.
Officers were called about a flasher in Wenlock Road at around 12.45pm on Wednesday (May 13).
A man in his 50s has been arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure and is in police custody for questioning.
PC Lee Rogers said: “Indecent exposure isn’t a harmless prank - it is a serious criminal offence and often part of a pattern of harmful behaviour.
“We tend to see a spike in incidents of indecent exposure in the warmer months, and we would urge anyone who has been a victim to report it to us as soon as you can.
“By telling us, it helps to identify repeat offenders and hot spot locations so we can tackle the issue and make Bedfordshire a safer place.”
