AMAN exposed himself in front of two schoolgirl­s in broad daylight in Ormskirk, according to reports made to Lancashire police.

Officers are looking into the alleged incidents involving girls, aged about 10 and 11, on a Wednesday afternoon in February.

They have now released images of a man they wish to speak to as part of their investigat­ion.

The police believe the man pictured may be able to assist with the inquiry.

Officers are investigat­ing claims that on February 22, at 3.49pm, a man exposed himself to a girl on Burscough Street while trying to attract her attention.

He is then thought to have walked past another girl while still exposing himself.

The second alleged victim attracted the attention of passers-by, at which point the man was reportedly seen “zipping his trousers back up” before walking down Scarisbric­k Street.

It is believed that he had arrived in Ormskirk on a train from Liverpool shortly before the incident.

He is described as white, in his 40s, approximat­ely 5ft 10in, and had short, dark hair.

At the time of the alleged incidents, he was wearing a black, threequart­er length coat with collar, black trousers and shoes and carrying a black laptop shoulder bag.

Officers believe the man pictured may have informatio­n that could be important to the investigat­ion, and are appealing for him, or anyone who knows who he might be, to contact them.

Anyone with details or informatio­n regarding the man pictured or the incident can contact Lancashire police on 101, quoting log number LC-20170222-1499.
