Police launch investigation after man allegedly exposed himself in front of children and started 'inappropriate conversations'

An investigation has been launched after a man allegedly started 'inappropriate conversations' and exposed himself to children in two separate incidents. 

WA Police has released CCTV footage of a man on a bike in relation to incidents that occurred in Perth earlier this month. 

On April 14, a man approached a 11-year-old boy in Canning Vale and 'engaged the child in an inappropriate conversation of a sexual nature'. 

The man was described as being fair-skinned, aged between 16 and 20-years-old, and wearing a black Calvin Klein hoodie and black fingerless gloves. 

He appeared to have tattoos on his neck and on one of his wrists.  

On April 20, a man approached an 11-year-old girl in Thornlie and allegedly exposed himself to her and engaged in conversation of a sexual nature. 

The man was described as fair-skinned and aged between 17 and 18-years-old.  

Both children told their parents they had been approached by a man on a bike. 

WA Police are investigating if the two incidents are linked. 

'Given the close proximity of the incidents, the similar circumstances and similar description of the male person involved, it is being investigated whether the two incidents are linked,' police said in a statement. 

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
