In 2026, Cleveland Police detectives circulated closed-circuit television (CCTV) imagery and appealed to the public for assistance following an indecent exposure committed inside a retail store in Middlesbrough town centre.
The incident occurred in the early afternoon at approximately 1:35 PM on Monday 18 May 2026 within the Primark outlet situated inside the Hillstreet shopping centre. According to investigating officers, an unknown male entered the store, approached two female shoppers, and deliberately exposed himself in front of them.
Officers launched an inquiry immediately following the report, conducting area checks and examining internal surveillance recordings from across the retail premises and shopping centre concourse. Police have now released a clear CCTV still of an individual they wish to identify, believing he may be able to provide vital assistance to the active investigation.
The individual sought is described as having dark hair, wearing glasses, and possessing a distinctive dark goatee beard.
Cleveland Police are urging shoppers, retail workers, and town centre visitors who recognize the man depicted in the security image, or who witnessed suspicious conduct inside Primark around the time of the offence, to make contact with investigators.
Anyone with information regarding the identity of the suspect is asked to contact Cleveland Police on the 101 non-emergency number or via their official website reporting portal, quoting incident reference number 094180.
Members of the public who prefer to report details confidentially can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
