A SEARCH has been launched for a small bearded man who exposed himself to a mourner and then apologised.
The distressing incident occurred on Wednesday, April 6, at a cemetery in Wokingham Without.
Thames Valley Police want witnesses to come forward so they can help find the suspect.
It took place around 11am when a woman was tending to a grave in the churchyard of St Sebstians Wokingham Without, off Nine Mile Ride.
The man is said to have come to her to ask for the time before exposing himself. He then apologised and went to the car park.
A small red car then drove off.
He is described as white, thin and short – around 5ft 6ins to 5ft 7ins, with a dark beard and dark coloured eyes. He was wearing a faded black tracksuit.
Police are keen to trace the man and the car he was seen driving.
Det Con Stuart Hawkes of Wokingham CID, is leading the investigation.
He said: “The victim was understandably distressed by this incident. We would ask that anyone who witnessed this or who recognises the description of the offender or the red car to contact us as a matter of urgency.”
