A second man has also been identified by police after a number of similar incidents on Market Street and Nutbeem Road. 

These happened between 7.20pm and 9pm and after an investigation was launched, another man was detained. 

The 47-year-old from Eastleigh was arrested on suspicion of indecent exposure. 

Both men remain in custody at this time whilst police continue their investigation. 

A spokesperson for the force said: "Whilst these incidents can be very distressing for those who witness them, we would urge people to continue to report any suspicious activity such as indecent exposures to police directly by calling 101, or via the Hampshire Constabulary website."
