A MAN crouched behind a car before exposing himself to a group of young girls.

The girls were in a car park near Knightrider Street, Maidstone, at around 7.30pm on Friday when the incident happened.

The girls were walking to a youth club when they saw the man squatting behind a Range Rover or Landrover type vehicle.

He then exposed himself to them. Nothing was said during the incident. The girls ran to the youth club and contacted police.

The offender is described as being of Asian appearance, around 30 years of age, thin, with short, dark hair. He was wearing a long-sleeved cream T-shirt and dark-coloured jeans.

Anyone with information should contact DC Alex Smith on 01622 608182 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 - this call is free and confidential.

Police would particularly like to hear from the driver of the Range Rover/Landrover in the car park, which drove away shortly after the incident.
