Police in Irvine are appealing for witnesses after a man indecently exposed himself on Monday morning near to Fullarton Arches and the Scott Road bridge.

A woman was walking her dogs on a cycle path near Greenbank Road at around 8.10am when she noticed a man acting suspiciously.

The man proceeded into a wooded area where he carried out an indecent act in front of the woman.

Caught on camera

The woman confronted the man and was able to get mobile phone footage of him before he left the area in the direction of the Scott Road bridge.

The man is described as white, in his twenties and possibly spoke with an eastern European accent.

As he approached the main road he was seen to put on a surgical-type face mask.

Inspector Andy Dolan from Irvine Police Station said: “I’d appeal to anyone who was in the area on Monday morning and who may have seen a man acting suspiciously to come forward and report this to police.

“Equally anyone who can help us identify and trace the man responsible should get in contact with officers as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information should contact Police Scotland via 101 and quote incident number 1178 of 15 November 2021.
