Police Called To Indecent Exposure Incident In Sandown

Police were called to Sandown last night (Thursday) following reports of a man indulging in a sexual act in his van.

Officers were called to Avenue Road at 6.30pm — more than four hours after the indecent exposure incident, which was captured on video, had taken place.

A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said:

"We received a report at 6.30pm last night of an indecent exposure incident in Sandown. 

"The incident, involving a man in a van, was reported to have taken place at 2pm that afternoon on Avenue Road.

"Local officers will be following up this report, and we encourage anyone with additional information about this incident to report this to police on 101, quoting 44220261133.

"These kinds of incidents cause significant community concern, and we will not tolerate this kind of indecent behaviour."
