AN E-FIT has been released to help trace a man who indecently exposed himself on a canal towpath.

A 26-year-old woman was walking along the canal at Millers Dyke near Hardwicke between 5.20pm and 5.40pm on Wednesday June 15, when a man on the opposite side of the canal whistled at her.

She looked over to see that he was indecently exposing himself and performing a lewd act.

He is described as white, balding, of a large build, in his 30s or 40s and was wearing a navy blue polo shirt with a yellow crest on the chest, dark trousers and carrying a blue rucksack.

It is thought the man is local and was walking to or from work.

Anyone who recognises the description or the man in the e-fit, should call police on 101 quoting incident 377 of 15 June.
