Indecent exposure investigated

A police probe has been launched after a man exposed himself to a woman on the Fife Coastal Path.

The incident took place at around 8:45pm on Thursday near St Bridget’s Kirk in Dalgety Bay.

A 51-year-old woman was walking in the area when a man approached and exposed himself to her before making off from the area.

He is described as white, between 35 and 40-years-old, of an average height and with short cropped hair.

He was wearing a black vest and dark tracksuit bottoms with a red stripe down the leg.

Sergeant Kenny Bow from Dalgety Bay Police Station said: “The victim was left shaken by this incident and we are pursuing local lines of inquiry to identify the suspect.

“The area is very popular with dog walkers and a number of young people are believed to have been camping out in the area on Thursday night, so I would ask anyone who may have seen this male to come forward.

“We will have additional patrols in place along the local coastal path to speak with potential witnesses, offer reassurance to the local community and gather any evidence that can help identify the culprit.

“If you believe you have any information relevant to our inquiries then please contact police immediately.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101.
