A teenage boy has been arrested and bailed after police linked him to four separate indecent exposure incidents in Thornbury, Avon & Somerset, stretching from April to December.
Police Boost Patrols After Teen Arrest
Avon & Somerset police revealed on Thursday 11 December that the mid-teen suspect was questioned and released on bail as investigations continue.
Neighbourhood Inspector Stephen Baines said: “The investigation continues, with targeted patrols by neighbourhood officers. We’ve also contacted local schools as part of our efforts.”
Community Urged to Speak Up and Stay Safe
Insp Baines stressed the importance of reporting such crimes. “People may not always report these incidents, but we want to hear from anyone affected or who knows of areas where women or girls feel unsafe. Your safety is our priority.”
He urged victims to call 999 as soon as it’s safe to do so and encouraged anyone with information or footage to come forward to help with the ongoing enquiries.
