A man has been arrested following reports of an indecent exposure in Bridlington on Friday.
Officers received reports of a man who was believed to have followed a woman from West Street to an address on Clarence Avenue, at around 12.35am and made attempts to enter her property. Entry was not gained, however he then indecently exposed himself in the street.
As a part of lines of enquiry, a 24-year-old man was arrested, on Monday, on suspicion of exposure and stalking involving serious alarm / distress following additional reports that a man followed a group of teenagers which they reported to the officers on the evening of Thursday (Boxing Day).
