Hunt for teenager who exposed himself to two girls in park

A police investigation is underway after a teenager indecently
exposed himself to two girls aged seven and eight in a play park between
Carlaverock Avenue and Blawearie Road in Tranent, East Lothian, at 3pm on
Friday.

The girls alerted a nearby adult who approached the boy
before he left towards Baxters Gate.

The suspect is 15 or 16 years old, 5ft 10in and slim. He has
green/blue hair down to his ears and was wearing a black jumper with images of
four white faces on the front, black skinny jeans and black trainers.

Sergeant Debbie Duncan said: “The girls bravely left
the scene and informed an adult of the actions of this youth who in turn
contacted police.

“Although the girls were not physically harmed, this
has been a serious incident and we’re eager to trace the man responsible as
soon as possible.

“I would appeal to anyone who may recognise the
description of the suspect, or who saw a man matching this description in
Tranent to contact officers as soon as possible in order to assist with our
inquiries.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact 101.
