A flasher who trapped a girl in a Burger King toilet in Paddington is now wanted by police over two other incidents at the same fast-food outlet.

Police first released CCTV images last month after an incident at 6.30pm on April 15 when a 16-year-old girl went to use the facilities in Burger King in Praed Street.

A man followed her into the ladies’ toilet and after she emerged from the cubicle he prevented her from leaving by placing his foot in front of the exit door.

The pervert then exposed himself and made “sexually indecent gestures”, police said.

Police in Westminster are now investigating other allegations of indecent exposure and false imprisonment at the same place.

The earliest reported incident took place on March 22 at around 9.30pm, also involving a 16-year-old girl who suffered a similar ordeal.

The latest incident happened at around 9.45pm on May 16 when a woman thought to be in her 30s informed staff there was a man in the women's toilets who exposed himself and made sexual gestures towards her.

This victim left the restaurant before speaking to police and officers are appealing for her to contact them.

Police say the suspect in all three cases is the same man, who left the premises through the fire exit on the first floor.

He is described as a white man with short black hair, aged between 30 and 35, around 5ft 11ins tall of stocky build and believed to be of eastern European origin.

At the time of the third incident he was reportedly wearing a blue jacket with blue jeans, dark coloured shoes and was carrying a black bag.

Trainee Detective Constable David Roberts, from Westminster's serious crimes unit said:"This type of crime is very upsetting for the victims; I am keen for anyone with information to please come forward. We will investigate every lead."

Anyone with any information should call Westminster CID on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
