Following reports that a male was approaching women on the canal path in Quedgeley, a man has been arrested on suspicion of public order offences in connection with the incidents.
Officers were searching the canal path between Gloucester and Stroud after six reports from women who had been approached by a man.
It was reported that after approaching them, he showed them a note on a notepad which asked them to indecently expose themselves.

Officers attended and a man, who is of no fixed abode, was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure and public order offences. He remains in police custody.
Police would still like to speak to anyone who may have seen the man on the canal and who has not already come forward.
