Police have released an e-fit after a man exposed himself to a woman at an allotment.

On Sunday 1 September at 19:00 BST, it was reported that a man had been talking to a woman near Spring Garden allotments in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.

They had been speaking for a few minutes, before the woman then saw that the man had exposed himself.

He is described as white, with dark hair which was tied back in a bun, aged in his late forties or early fifties and around 5ft 9ins (179cm) in height.

At the time he was wearing jeans and a short sleeved black polo top with a red and yellow trim.

Gloucestershire Police are keen to identify the man in the e-fit image in connection with the incident.

Cotswolds neighbourhood policing inspector Simon Ellson said: "Whilst incidents of this nature aren't widely reported, this is a serious crime which can have a significant impact on victims.

“We are focused on tackling violence against women and girls and we will investigate all reports of indecent exposure robustly.

"I am grateful that the victim in this case came forward and I would encourage anyone who has had a similar experience to do the same."
