Appeal after man exposes himself in Chard
We are appealing for the public’s help after a man was seen indecently exposing himself on a cycle path in Chard.
At around 8.50am on Tuesday (25 March), the victim had been walking along the cycle path between Touches Lane and Great Western Road, in the direction of Chard skatepark.
A man appeared in front of her by the Chard Recycling Centre and indecently exposed himself.
Officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team attended and conducted area tours and met with the victim.
A man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure within 30 minutes of officers’ arrival. He has since been released on bail with conditions to not enter the Chard area.
We are appealing for any witnesses who were in the surrounding areas, including the cycle path, Chard Skate Park and Great Western Road to Henson Park, who may have seen any suspicious behaviour.
