Staffordshire Police are appealing for information following an incident in which a man exposed himself to a young girl in Stoke-on-Trent. The incident occurred earlier on Friday 10 November, just before 09.00 in an alleyway between Appleford Place and Tilery Lane in Blurton.

According to reports received by the police, the suspect is described as a man in his mid-20s, approximately 5ft 9in tall, with short blonde hair. He was seen wearing a blue jacket and glasses. After the incident, the man was observed walking in the direction of Tilery Lane.

In a separate but potentially related incident on Monday, 6th November, a man exposed himself to two girls at the entrance to an alleyway leading from Tilery Lane to Kidbrooke Place. The suspect in this incident is described as bald and aged between 30 and 40. He was wearing a bright blue jumper and dark grey or black trousers.

While the descriptions of the suspects differ in both incidents, detectives are actively investigating the possibility of a connection between the two occurrences.
