Hampstead Heath: Video shows indecent exposure suspect after incidents near Parliament Hill and mixed pond

Met Police detectives investigating reported indecent exposure offences on Hampstead Heath have released the above video and an e-fit image of a suspect.

Four incidents were reported on the heath between Tuesday June 6 and Wednesday June 7 this year.

The incidents occurred in broad daylight, between 4.40pm and 8pm near the mixed bathing pond, Parliament Hill viewpoint and the area of East Heath Road.

A man approached the women in the south east area of Hampstead Heath exposing his penis and asking them if they wanted to have sex with him.

The suspect is described as having tanned skin with short brown hair and dark eyes. He was clean shaven and is believed to be between 5ft 6in and 5ft 8in tall, and aged around 25 to 35.

Detective Chief Inspector Paul Ridley from Central North Public Protection Team who is leading the investigation said: “I have made the decision to appeal to the public through Crimewatch in a bid to publicise this case to identify the suspect and encourage any other victims to come forward.

"We are treating these cases as linked based on the locality, timings, description of the offender and his repeated concerning conduct towards these women.

"The offender was very brazen and frightened these women from his actions. All the offences took place on warm summer evenings when the area would have been extremely busy with children and dog walkers.

"Please look carefully at the e-fit and moving footage of the offender. If you believe you know who this person is we need his name."
