Exhibitionist bothers girls

A man indecently exposed himself to two young girls after following them into the cloakroom at their school on Monday morning.

The police said the man followed the girls, aged eight, to St Michael’s Church Day School, at the corner of Durham Street and Lichfield Street. He followed them into a cloakroom where the indecent exposure occurred, about 8.20 a.m. The girls ran to a nearby classroom and told a teacher. The offender was European, aged in his early 30s, about 173 cm (sft Bin) tall, with brown, straight, collar-length hair, spiked at the front. He was of thin to medium build.

Bath taken Burglars removed a shower-bath unit at the week-end from a flat being built in Poulson Street, Addington. The burglary was discovered at 8 a.m. on Mondag

Senior-Sergeant Mike Moore said it appeared the offender found the garage key. After entering the garage the burglar climbed stairs to get inside the secure flat. The police are keen to hear from anyone who saw vehicles parked at the flat during the weekend.

Fittings gone

An inner-city house was stripped of its doors, window frames, and several plumbing fittings after being vacated by a tenant. The house, at the corner of Barbadoes Street and Kilmore Street, was vacated last Friday. The tenant returned on Monday to pick up the rest of her property and discovered the house had been stripped of 11 doors, 20 windows and frames, a fire surround, a 30-gallon hot-water cylinder, three taps, and a shower hose. The stolen property is valued at about $9OO.
