Metropolitan Police officers have issued a CCTV image of a man they want speak to in connection with two indecent exposure incidents on buses.

At around 3.45pm on Tuesday, 7th November 2023 a man made sexual gestures toward two 14-year-old girls before following them on to a route 329 bus along Green Lanes. The girls got off the bus and called their parents to collect them.

Later that same day, at around 4.50pm, a suspect police believed to be the same man, exposed himself to a 15-year-old girl on a route 329 bus near Grenoble Gardens, Bowes Park.

Officers are treating these two incidents as linked.

Detective Constable Teresa Moore said: “I am asking anyone who recognises the man in this image to come forward and speak to police. Exposure is treated as a serious offence, and this is more serious still when committed against children.
