Sussex Police is appealing for witnesses and information after reports of a man exposing himself in Billingshurst.

The force says officers are investigating reports of incidents in July, September and October in the Station Road area. A 55-year-old man was arrested and has been bailed with strict conditions in connection with the investigation (Sussex Police, 26 October 2026).

Officers are carrying out proactive patrols in the area. The force is asking anyone who has seen suspicious behaviour there to report it.

What the police said

Chief Inspector James Davidson said: “We are investigating a series of reports last summer and this autumn, and we are liaising with nearby schools to ensure all children are safeguarded.

“Officers are carrying out increased patrols in the area to prevent any further offences and to provide reassurance. We are asking the public to be vigilant and to report any suspicious behaviour to us.”

The man has not been charged. An arrest is not a finding of guilt, and the force has not named him.
