Flasher strikes UC Riverside, community college

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) -- University of California, Riverside police are searching for a suspected flasher who exposed himself to two women at a parking lot near campus.

The first incident occurred at 10 a.m. near Bannockburn Apartments at 3637 Canyon Crest Dr. A man in a black Lexus sedan asked a student a question. She approached and saw him exposing himself.

The woman walked away and reported the crime to campus police. Officers searched the area, but did not find the suspect.

A similar incident occurred 30 minutes later at the Riverside Community College main campus.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic man in his 30s with a thin mustache and slender build.

These flashing incidents follow two kidnappings last week at UC Riverside that may be causing concern. Both victims got away.

Anyone with information is asked to call campus police at (951) 827-5222.
