POLICE are investigating two acts of indecency allegedly performed in trains. These and more in our weekly round Streetwatch.

TURRAMURRA: Kur-ing-gai police are reviewing CCTV footage to identify an act of indecency on a train on Tuesday about 6.45pm.

A 52-year-old woman said a man exposed himself in front of her and committed an indecent act on a train from the city to Berowa.

The woman told police a caucasian man, aged in his mid-20s, wearing a black T-shirt, brown shorts and carrying a backpack, sat next to her despite the carriage being almost empty. The woman said the man walked away when she challenged him after he performed the indecent act. She reported it to station staff.

Police are hunting for two males who allegedly exposed themselves to women on trains.

TURRAMURRA: Another act of indecency on a train has been reported to the Kur-ing-gai police on Monday when a 69-year-old woman had boarded a train at Hornsby and sat in the carriage with four other women. She later told the station staff a man — described as being fat, between 20 and 21-years-old, with short brown hair, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts — had sat opposite her before putting his hands inside his pants. She said when she got up to exit the train at Turramurra station, the man allegedly exposed himself to her. The woman made a complaint to station staff. Police are investigating the incident.

BOBBIN HEAD: A nine-year-old boy became lost for a few hours before being found at Bobbin Head Reserve, on Sunday between 4.20pm and 6.30pm. The boy was with other families when he and other children decided to run in front of the group. Police said that when they came to a fork, the boy did not follow the other children but instead took the other turn. When the families reached the rock pool where the other children had gathered — about 2.5km from the fork — they realised the nine-year-old was missing. They contacted police who dispatched six crews, Polair and requested ambulances. The search was called off when a man, not in the group, found the boy and brought him out where he was reunited with his relieved family.

TURRAMURRA: A woman, described as a 30-35-year-old with strawberry blonde hair and wearing a light coloured blouse and brown dress, is wanted by police after she allegedly keyed someone’s car from front to back at the Coles carpark at Turramurra on Tuesday. Police said a 28-year-old local man lodged a complaint with them. He told police that he parked his Holden Rodeo next to the woman’s Volkswagen Passat at the carpark when she allegedly verbally abused him. The man told the police he just laughed and walked away. However, when he turned to look back, he noticed she was taking pictures of his car. He told police that he also decided to snap pictures of her car when the woman allegedly threatened him. The man then entered the supermarket when he said harsh words were exchanged between them in front of shoppers before she walked out. The man said he followed her out and watched her use her keys to allegedly scratch his vehicle from the front to the back door. He then visited Hornsby police station where he made his complaint. Police are investigating the incident.
