Police seek park flasher

By Sarah Schwager
POLICE are searching for a man who exposed himself in a Cranbourne park on Sunday morning.
Cranbourne police believe the man had travelled by train from Dandenong to Cranbourne and got off at Merinda Park Railway Station at 7.20am.
Police said he then walked to the Lawson Poole Reserve.
About 7.30am, the man indecently exposed himself to a nearby resident, a 52-year-old Cranbourne woman, walking in the park.
Police want to speak to another woman believed to be in the area at the time, walking a white dog.
The man was in his 20s and wearing dark clothes.
The indecent exposure is the latest in a spate of cases reported in Cranbourne this year.
On 15 July, a man exposed himself at Cranbourne Centro Shopping Centre.
The man entered men’s clothing store Male Connections then pulled down his tracksuit pants and exposed himself to the female store attendant and other customers.
On 29 June, a man exposed himself in the Barbie aisle at Kmart Cranbourne.
Police said the man confronted a nine-year-old girl in the aisle of the department store at Centro Cranbourne Shopping Centre then exposed himself and asked if the girl would like to touch him.
Three other cases in the area were reported in February.
Police said there was no evidence the incidents were linked.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Senior Constable Mick Van Hammond at Cranbourne CIU on 5991 0600 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
