Police hunt naked creep in gimp mask after he allegedly terrorised teenage girls in Fife

Police are hunting a man who allegedly exposed himself to two teenage girls in Fife during a disturbing encounter.

It is understood the man, who is yet to be identified, was wondering around Rabbit Braes in Kirkcaldy completely naked and wearing a gimp mask.

He then reportedly began approaching the teenage girls who were walking the trail but made off before police arrived on the scene.

A local community paged "warned" parents last night not to let youngsters walk alone in the area.

Rabbit Braes Development Group said on Facebook: "Just a word of warning. A naked man was seen up in the 'horsey' field this afternoon.

"He started walking around in front of/towards two teenage girls. Police were called, but they were unable to catch him.

"Please tell your children to be safe if they are out and preferably not to walk around alone."

Police are appealing for anyone with information to come forward following the incident.
