Angus police hunting a local flasher have condemned social media jokers for tagging pals into appeals for help over serious crimes.
They issued a plea for the public’s help over an early morning incident in Montrose’s Whinfield Road last Friday.
The offence happened around 6.30am and the suspect, who is around 30-years-old and five feet ten inches tall, made off towards the town’s health centre.
Police said they could not rule out a possible link to another indecent exposure in Montrose less than a week earlier.
However, Facebook responses to the appeal included several commenters tagging pals and jokingly suggesting they might be the person police were looking for.
