A 40-year-old man has been arrested and is currently in custody following reports of indecent exposure incidents in Rothwell.

He has been arrested in connection with an incident earlier this month but officers from Leeds Safeguarding are conducting enquiries into other potentially connected incidents.

Inspector Mark Lund, of Leeds South NPT, said: “We understand that there is some concern in the local community, particularly among those who use the local green spaces for walking and running.

“We have got a man in custody, and our safeguarding colleagues are conducting enquiries into what has been reported already.

“I would urge anyone who has been the victim of an offence of this nature or who has any information that could assist our enquiries to please get in contact.”
