POLICE are appealing for information about a naked man seen strolling around in Trimley St Mary.

The incident happened around lunchtime on Monday near the railway station.

A 23-year-old man was walking home across common land at the end of Station Road around noon when he was approached by the man.

Nothing was said by either man, but when the young man walked back along the same route around 1.15pm he saw the same man, this time wearing a tight pair of cycling shorts.

Police said this time the man spoke, but the 23-year-old ignored him and continued on his way.

Officers are treating the incident as indecent exposure and are appealing for the man to get in touch with them - and for other witnesses who may have seen his strange behaviour to come forward.

The man is described as white, in his 40s to early 50s, of slim build, around 5ft 7in tall and with receding hair which was long at the back.

Anyone with information about the man or the incident is asked to call Felixstowe police on 01473 613500.
