Gwent Police said there had been reports of three "incident exposure" incidents which "were witnessed by children playing in the area".

The first happened in Bryn Fields, Pontllanfraith, on 3 May while two more occurred in a lane behind Panteg Terrace, Newbridge, on 13 May.

The man made no attempt to approach the children, the force said.

The suspect is described as a white, aged about 30 to 40, skinny and about 5'7" tall.
