A pervert who lured girls to his car so he could flash at them is being sought by police.

The man, who was driving around without any trousers on, stopped two groups of girls and pretended he needed directions before exposing his genitals to them on Thursday, December 27.

The first incident happened in Wandle Road, Hackbridge, between 3.30pm and 4.15pm. He exposed himself to three girls as they came over to help him. The second incident happened when he flashed at two girls in Culvers Avenue, Carshalton.

In both incidents the man remained in his car and the girls were aged 13 and 14.

The flasher is a white man in his late 20s or early 30s and has short, dark hair. He spoke with a foreign accent and drove a dark-coloured family car. He was only wearing boxers on his bottom half.

Detective Constable Natalie Lang, of Sutton CID, said: "Residents in either of these roads may have seen something that can help us. Incidents like this are rare in Sutton and we are determined to catch the man responsible.

"If a similar incident has happened to you or your daughter, then please come forward and tell us."
