Christmas is around the corner, but residents near Greenshaw Woods are hoping the Father Christmas Flasher is not.

Police are on the look out for the man they have dubbed the "Father Christmas Flasher" after fresh reports of a man exposing himself near to St Helier Hospital.

The old man, who frequents bushes along the woods, has been exposing himself in front of women and young girls.

He has been described as having white hair, a long white beard and wrinkly skin.

Witnesses report the man being aged between 60 and 65 and wears blue ‘workmen-like’ trousers, a blue baseball cap and a blue fleece.

At the meeting of the Sutton local committee last week, police told residents they had stepped up patrols in the area to catch him.

Anyone with information can contact Sutton Police Station on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
