A MAN is being sought by police after he allegedly carried out a lewd act in a van.

Police said they are hunting for the man, who is described as white, about 30 years old and with dark hair and stubble, following the incident on Friday, August 7.

The force did not release information until today but said the incident occurred in London Road, Wheatley, at about 2.50pm on August 7.

Three girls, one aged 13 and two aged 12, saw a man carrying out a lewd act while he was in a small, white van which appeared to have tools inside which was parked in London Road.

He was wearing what police described as a construction top and black trousers.

Investigating officer PC Shahed Ali said: “I would appeal to anyone who recognises the description of the offender and, or the van to contact police by visiting your nearest police station or calling 101.”
