An alleged flasher is still on the run more than a month after exposing himself in front of disgusted shoppers at a Westfield centre in Melbourne’s southeast.
Southland shoppers raised the alarm after the indecent incident about 11.10am on May 8 but the man had fled.
Kingston Police say the man was described as “southern European appearance, of average height with a tanned complexion and medium build.”
He is believed to be aged in his late 60s or 70s.
Investigators have released an image of a man they would like to speak with in connection with the Southland incident.
The alleged brazen exposure follows the arrest of a 43-year-old Wantirna man who was charged over the alleged sexual assault of a 19-year-old girl as she worked in a store at Westfield Knox on February 2.
Police allege the man followed the employee around the store before making inappropriate comments and sexually assaulting her.
