Wiltshire Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a man indecently exposed himself during the morning school run.

At approximately 8.10am on Thursday, June 20, a man from Swindon was spotted exposing himself indecently in public before 'releasing his bowels' onto the footpath and leaving faeces behind.
