Brea Police Looking To Nab 'Very Brazen' Flasher

BREA (CBSLA.com) — Brea Police have released surveillance video of a male flasher who exposed himself inside a store in the Brea Mall Monday.

The suspect stood near an entrance of a store, pulled his pants down and exposed his genitals to a female shopper around 2:30 p.m.

There is no audio on the tape, but the man was gesturing about his genitals and reportedly making lewd comments as well.

Police describe the man as "very brazen" and say he may have been involved in similar crimes within the past week at The Shops in Mission Viejo and the Irvine Spectrum.

The suspect is white, about 30 years old, 5 feet 11 inches and 175 lbs. He has a short "buzz" haircut and wearing a thick necklace or band. He is believed to have tattoos on at least one of his forearms. Police said he is also tanned or sun burned.

Investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying the suspect. Officials are also asking any additional victims to come forward.
