A GREATER police presence will be visible along a popular walking route following disturbing reports of a flasher.

High-visibility patrols will be conducted by officers on the Trans Pennine Trail in Lymm over the coming days and weeks.

This follows reports that a man exposed himself in public on the section close to Heatley Mere.

Enquiries into the incident are ongoing, and anyone with any information is asked to contact the police.

Earlier this week, a spokesman for Cheshire Police said: “At 5.30pm on Sunday, June 12, police were called to reports of a man exposing himself in the Lymm area of Warrington.

“The caller reported that at around 4.15pm that day, they witnessed a man exposing himself between Heatley Mere and Mill Lane.

“The suspect was described as a black man, in his late teens, around 6ft tall, of slim build with short hair.

“He was wearing black running shorts, a navy hoody, black sliders, white socks and glasses.”

Anyone with any information is asked to contact Cheshire Police via cheshire.police.uk/tell-us by calling 101, quoting IML 1291356.

The force’s Lymm Police team confirmed in a statement yesterday, Wednesday: “More high-visibility foot patrols have been conducted on the Trans Pennine Trail after recent reports.”
