POLICE are looking for a man who indecently exposed himself to a schoolgirl.

The 16 year-old was waiting at a bus stop close to Ashlyn’s roundabout on Pitsea Road, Pitsea, when she became aware of a man on the opposite side of the road trying to get her attention.

She realised he was exposing himself and quickly walked away.

The man is thought to have headed off in the direction of Northlands Park.

The incident took place at about 8pm on Monday.

Officers carried out a search of the area after the victim called the police, but the man could not be found.

He is described as six foot tall, of large, fat build and thought to be in his late 40s.

He was wearing a black beanie hat, black padded jacket and dark blue jeans.

Anyone who saw the man in the area or has any information which could help police is urged to call PC Keith Corry at Basildon Police Station on 101 or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
