Police appeal after sex pest targets elderly women in Chelmsley Wood

POLICE are attempting to trace a man in connection with a string of sex offences in the Chelmsley Wood area.
The indecent acts were committed around the estate over the course of several weeks and were mostly directed at elderly women. Following investigations, police suspect that the same individual is responsible.
The first incident mentioned by officers occurred on December 13, when a man knocked on the door of an 80-year-old woman's home and made sexual gestures at her through a window. He returned to the pensioner's address on a number of occasions and behaved in the same manner, most recently on January 20.
There were also two reports of a man exposing himself to women in an alleyway between Dunster Road and Ludlow Close. The incidents, involving ladies aged 70 and 52, were reported on December 8 and January 13.
On December 16, there was a separate report of a man exposing himself to a 65-year-old woman, who had been waiting at the bus stop on Dunster Road.
The suspect is described as a heavily-built white man, in his 20s, and around 5ft 6in to 5ft 7in tall. He is usually wearing a dark green parka-style coat.
If you have any information about the series of incidents please contact PC Amy Lloyd at Chelmsley Wood Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
