“People deserve to be safe in their own homes”\"HorwichHorwich police station(Image: Google Maps)<\/p>\n

An investigation has been launched after a man reportedly entered the homes of two elderly women before exposing himself.<\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police<\/a> says both incidents took place at separate properties in Horwich, near Bolton<\/a>, last month.<\/p>\n

On the first occasion, the suspect entered a woman’s home at around 10pm on July 20, and returned later on in the night.<\/p>\n

The second incident reportedly took place at around 3am on July 26. GMP says that on each occasion, the man performed sexual acts on himself.<\/p>\n

Officers arrested a man on suspicion of trespass with intent to commit a sexual offence on Tuesday (August 5). He has since been bailed pending further enquiries.<\/p>\n

The force is now appealing for more information as it steps up its investigation.<\/p>\n

PC Chanel Aspinall, of GMP’s Bolton West Neighbourhood Police Team, said: “We are taking these reports extremely seriously.<\/p>\n

“People deserve to be safe in their own homes and we will act against anyone who is targeting vulnerable people to commit crimes.<\/p>\n
