CK Police Arrest Alleged Flasher

A 27-year-old Ridgetown man is facing charges after police allege that he exposed his genitals to two teenage girls at a store in Chatham.

According to police, the girls were shopping with their parents at the time of the incident back in December 2016.

Officers say the girls were shopping in one of the aisles away from their parents when a stranger came up to them and exposed his genital area to them.

They ran off and told a store employee about the incident.

Police were called in, but the man fled the area before officers arrived.

Through their investigation, officers were able to identify a suspect, who has now been arrested in connection with the case. He's now charged with two counts of indecent acts and two counts of indecent exposure.

Police have not released the man's name.
