PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – Detectives are looking for a serial flasher who is masturbating in public and has been harassing women in Pembroke Pines for years. There were three victims Wednesday.
According to Amanda Conwell, a spokeswoman for the Pembroke Pines Police Department, the man harassed a woman Wednesday in the Avant community, near the intersection of Southwest 119th Avenue and Southwest 15th Street.
"The suspect was wearing a long sleeved sweater and pants, and had a dark shirt wrapped
around his head which concealed everything but his eyes," Conwell wrote in a statement.
About a block away, two other women told police officers Wednesday that a man with the same description followed them through the parking lot and showed them his penis.
In October, two women told officers that a black-clad man -- who was wearing a black ski mask -- targeted them near the intersection of 119th Avenue and Southwest 12th Street.
Detectives believe the man has also targeted other women in the Harbor Cove community.
"We are asking all residents in the vicinity of the Avant and Harbor Cove communities to use
caution during the evening and night-time hours, and to be aware of any suspicious persons
loitering in community parking lots or near buildings," Conwell wrote.
Detectives investigating the lewd and lascivious behavior cases were also asking anyone with information about the man or unreported incidents to call 954-431-2200 or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
