A serial flasher has struck for the fifth time.

Police are linking a series of indecent exposures in Saltdean.

The latest report is of a man exposing himself to lone women late at night.

In the early hours of Thursday a woman saw a man, fitting the same description, in Saltdean Vale, near the junction with Chichester Drive West.

He was wearing a hoodie type jacket and baseball cap and was naked from the waist down.

He is described as white, about 5' 10", aged around 40 and skinny.

Insp Bill Whitehead, of the Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "We are doing all we can to trace this man and urge people to come forward if they see anyone acting suspiciously in the area. The incidents are happening in the early hours of the morning and people are out at this time.

"I want women to be aware. We are stepping up patrols in the area and we would ask anyone with information to contact police on 101, email contact.centre@sussex.pnn.police.uk or call the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."
