A 12-year-old boy was arrested yesterday (15 December) on suspicion of sexual assault on a female over the age of 13 and indecent exposure.

The arrest follows several reports a boy was indecently exposing himself.

The boy has been bailed with conditions to only leave his home address if he is with an appropriate adult and to attend school. An appropriate adult must also take and collect him from school.

Sergeant Geraint Perkins of Malvern Safer Neighbourhood Team said: “We hope yesterday’s arrest and the bail conditions offer some reassurance to the community.

“Patrols will continue in the area and anyone who has any concerns is encouraged to approach officers.”
