Dunfermline police investigate weekend indecent exposures

Police in Dunfermline are now investigating three indecent exposures after a pair of incidents in the town at the weekend.

Detective Sergeant Kelly McEwan, of Dunfermline CID, said officers will continue to be deployed in the Calais View area of the town following the crimes.

A Police Scotland spokesman said that due to the similar nature and proximity of the incidents, they believed all three may be linked.

The first incident happened at around 4.15pm on Saturday in Calaisburn Place.

He was last seen heading towards houses in Norton Place and is described as white, in his late teens, around 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in tall and of medium build.

He was wearing a dark jacket, white T-shirt and dark trousers and is said to have had dark bushy hair.

The following day, at around 2.40pm in Norton Place, a further incident occurred.

The man is described as a white man in his mid- to lateteens, around 5ft 8in to 5ft 9in with a medium build and short dark hair. He was said to be wearing a dark jacket and dark trousers at the time.

DS McEwan has moved to reassure the community, saying: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and shocking for the victims involved.

“We are actively investigating these reports and are conducting high-visibility patrols in the Calais View area.

“We are appealing for anyone who was in the vicinity of any of the locations, and saw anything suspicious, to come forward and get in touch with us immediately.”

This latest appeal follows another incident last week when a man exposed himself in the Corbett Place area of the town at around 8.30am on Thursday morning.

He was described as being in his late teens or early 20s with dark, curly, short hair.

He is around 5ft 8in and was wearing a dark top at the time of the incident.

Anybody with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
