A PERVERT who flashed his private parts at a woman while he was out walking his dog was at the centre of a police investigation today.

The 24-year-old victim was left stunned when a man, described as being in his late 20s, walked towards her in Gosbrook Road, Caversham, and dropped his shorts.

Police have stepped up their hunt for the perpetrator and officers urged anyone with information to come forward.

The suspect is tanned, of medium build, around 5ft 8ins tall and has dark brown hair.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: "At around 7:30pm on Saturday 15 July the victim, a 24-year-old woman, was walking along Gosbrook Road, Caversham, when a man walking his dog exposed himself to her.

"The offender is a white man, tanned or possibly olive skinned, of medium build, in his late twenties, around 5ft 8ins tall with dark brown hair which is about an inch in length. He was wearing a cream round necked T-shirt, navy chino shorts and was walking a grey dog which could possibly have been a Schnauzer."

Anyone with information should contact the force on 101.
