Police Warn of Indecent Exposure Cases in Eastport

The Annapolis Police Department is warning residents of a string of indecent exposure cases over the last three months. 

Police said there have been six cases reported since March, and that they may be related. 

The first reported incident took place March 3, when a woman on the unit block of Bricin Street said she heard a tapping on the sliding glass door of her apartment. When she looked out, she saw a man touching his exposed penis. In April, the same woman reported two more similar incidents, police said. 

Police said there were similar incidents at the 1200 block of Hollyday Court on March 11 and May 17, and another on May 22 at the 1200 block of Gemini Drive. 

Police said the suspect in each case may be the same person, and has been described as a light-skinned African American man, standing between 5'10" and 6'0" tall. He has a thin build and usually has something covering his face. 

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Det. Thomas Pyles or Det. Jon-Paul Hipsky at 410-268-900. Or, they can be reached by email at tnpyles@annapolis.gov or jphipsky@annapolis.gov.

Police said residents should ensure that gates to fenced-in yards are locked, and suggested that residents install motion-activated lights. Any suspicious activity should be reported to police by calling 410-268-4141.
