Cameras issued to catch flasher

Disposable cameras have been handed out to women in a Somerset coastal resort to help police catch a serial flasher.

Several women walking dogs through Apex park in Burnham-on-Sea have reported a man indecently exposing himself to them and riding away on a bike.

Officers have not yet been able to identify the man and hope the women who have been issued with one of the 50 cameras will capture him on film.

Sergeant Ian Kennett said: "The initial outlay was not much, but if do we get a positive result, there is no reason why we shouldn't look at using other initiatives," he said.
