Thursday 10th January 2002
Two flashing attacks - thought to have been committed by the same man - took place between 18:15 and 18:30 on Tuesday 8th January.

A man exposed himself to two separate women in the area of Lapwing Lane before committing an "indecent act".

Police are urging women to be extra vigilant during the dark winter evenings, adding that the two women were "fortunate" not to have been subjected to a worse attack.

The man is described as white, late 20s to early 30s, between 5' 6" and 6' tall, with dark hair. The police are appealing for any witnesses to contact Elizabeth Slinger Road CID on 0161 856 6140.
