Staffordshire Police are appealing for information following an incident in which a man exposed himself to a young girl in Stoke-on-Trent. The incident occurred earlier on Friday 10 November, just before 09.00 in an alleyway between Appleford Place and Tilery Lane in Blurton.
According to reports received by the police, the suspect is described as a man in his mid-20s, approximately 5ft 9in tall, with short blonde hair. He was seen wearing a blue jacket and glasses. After the incident, the man was observed walking in the direction of Tilery Lane.

The suspect in this incident is described as bald and aged between 30 and 40. He was wearing a bright blue jumper and dark grey or black trousers.
