    A man has been arrested in connection with a string of incidents involving a van driver performing indecent acts in broad daylight.

    In the first incident, a man was spotted in a blue van acting indecently as children walked to school on Heys Road in Prestwich at about 7.45am on Thursday the 2nd of March.

     

    There were more reports of a man in a similar van about 45 minutes later, on nearby Clifton Road.

     

    A man was then spotted again on Sunday, carrying out the same act on Heys Road, and again on Roch Crescent in Whitefield on Monday evening.

     

    A 40-year-old has now been arrested on suspicion of four counts of indecent exposure in connection with the incidents, and is due to appear at Bury police station on the 20th of March.

     

    A spokesman for GMP said: “A 40-year-old man has been arrested and bailed in connection with reports of male pleasuring himself in a blue van. Enquiries are on-going.”

     

    Anyone with more information can call police on 101.
