Man 'flashes' girls
MASURY - Two 12-year-old girls reported being "flashed" Sunday about 8:50 p.m. on Judson Street in the fifth such incident here since March.
They told police a white man, possibly in his 30s, with dark short or balding hair, pulled up in a Chevrolet Monte Carlo and asked for directions. When the girls approached the car, they realized he was wearing nothing from the waist down. He had a camera in his hand.
The girls ran to a nearby residence for help. Police said it's been a little over a month since the last report, but the description the girls gave matched the one of the man in previous episodes.
