AN unknown man was found in a resident's room this morning at a care home in Princes Risborough during a series of suspicious incidents.

The first happened at around 2.50am when a woman in her 30s was walking with a friend on Wycombe Road.

A man, described as slim, in his late teens to early 20s and wearing a dark coloured hoody, started to follow them and speak to them.

He then exposed himself before the victim left the area and called the police.

Then at around 3.45am a member of staff at a home in Princes Risborough discovered an unknown man in a resident's room.

She told the man to leave and he went out of the window and ran away - no one was injured.

The man was described as white, in his late teens, with dark hair.

Shortly after this, a resident in Woodfield Road saw a man standing on some scaffolding near their property and called police as they thought he was acting suspiciously.

Police believe the incidents may be linked as the description of the offender is similar in each case.

Det Insp Mark Baxter from Force CID said: "We had three reports of incidents in Princes Risborough in the early hours of this morning, all involving a man of a similar description. I would like to speak to anyone who can help us to trace this man.

"Officers are in Princes Risborough today conducting enquiries to establish the circumstances of these incidents. If anyone has any concerns or questions, please feel free to speak to them.

"These incidents were very distressing for the people involved, and we need to trace the person or people responsible. If you were in the area last night and saw or heard anything out of the ordinary, please contact me as soon as possible via the 101 number."
