Witness appeal following series of indecent exposures on Esher Common

We are appealing for witnesses following a series of indecent exposures on Esher Common.

The offences took place on 7, 11, and 19 May in the area around West End Common, Black Pond, and the bridge over the A3 which joins Esher Common to Oxshott Common. The times have varied but incidents have been reported at around midday and shortly before 6.30pm.

Clothing descriptions vary in each incident, but the suspect has been consistently described as a White man believed to be in his 30s to 50s, around six foot in height.

A fourth offence was reported to police on 12 November 2025, and an appeal was made for witnesses at the time.

Inspector Chris Thoday, Borough Commander for Elmbridge, said, “We understand that crimes of this nature can cause significant concern, and I want to reassure the local community that we take all reports of sexual offences seriously. Officers have been conducting additional patrols in this area since the reports began earlier this month and will be continuing over the bank holiday weekend.
“Our enquiries are ongoing, and we ask that if you have any information that may assist our investigation, including mobile phone, dashcam, or helmet cam footage, please get in touch quoting PR/45260054905
“Any information, no matter how small, can be significant, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. I would also like to encourage people to report any suspicious or concerning behaviour to police, especially where you have been the victim of an indecent exposure.”
