Police are hunting a sick Ayrshire flasher who exposed himself to teenage girls yesterday.
Cops have launched an investigation into a number of disturbing incidents recently in Troon near Darley golf course.
Officers have received numerous reports of a man jogging in "shorts that may have been too small a fit for him" on or near the cycle path that runs from Marr College to the railway bridge (known locally as the flyover) at Barassie Railway Station.
The creep is described as being 40 to 55 years old, around 5ft to 6ft tall, of a slim build and with grey balding hair.
At the time of the incidents, the man was wearing grey or black shorts that may have been too small a fit for him and possibly a navy beanie hat.
In the latest incident, a number of teenage girls were walking on the path around 8.30am on Thursday, March 18 when the man passed them, stopped and then ran back towards them.
Similar incidents which are also under investigation happened at this location, and in a lane near to Troon cemetery leading to Willockston Road, before Christmas.
Chief Inspector Brian Anderson, area Commander at South Ayrshire, said: “We are asking the public to get in touch if they think they know this man or if they have witnessed similar incidents.
“These incidents are disturbing for those involved and although no one has been physically harmed, they have been left upset and shaken.
"I would like to reassure the public that officers are carrying out extensive enquiries to trace this person and additional patrols, in both uniform and plain clothes, will be in the area over the coming days.
“If anyone has any information that could help with our enquiries then please contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 2288 of Thursday, March 18, or make a call anonymously to the charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
