A flasher who exposed himself to three women is being hunted by police.
Investigators are appealing to track down a suspicious man after the victims reported similar circumstances in Lordswood, Chatham in recent weeks.
Police are linking the incidents which took place in the area between June 24 and July 8.
The first incident was reported on June 24 when a woman reported seeing a man at 12.07pm on a pathway leading into woodland from Lords Wood Lane.
She told police the man exposed himself to her and was wearing grey jumper and grey shorts.
On July 7, another woman reported seeing a man in Kingston Crescent at 7.35am where the same suspect was spotted.
Police say his actions caused the woman distress and it was reported he was wearing a white T-shirt and blue knee-length sorts.
The following day, July 8, a third woman says she saw a man at about 8am in Lords Wood Lane and the suspect again exposed himself to the woman.
He was said to be wearing dark grey jeans and a T-shirt.
More witnesses are now being urged to come forward to help police with their investigations.
Officers have spoken to the three victims so far, who all described him as a white man, aged in his 20s to 40s, of medium build and about 5ft 6ins tall.
He is described as having hair short on the sides and long on top with one victim describing him as ginger. He is said to have an English accent.
A police spokesman said they are continuing their efforts to identify the suspect and hope members of the public may have important information to assist their investigation.
