Cops search for St. Helens laundromat flasher
St. HELENS, Ore. – Police in the city of Saint Helens are searching for a man they said has been exposing himself to women at a local laundromat.
Police say it has happened more than once and said they are looking for a man in his early-to-mid 20s.
Investigators said the suspect most recently was wearing a bright red hoodie during one of the incidents and a black hoodie with a skull on the back in another. He is described as having a decaying front tooth and driving a silver late-model mini-van.
Witnesses said the incidents began Jan. 11 when a worker at a laundromat on St. Helens Street was closing up the business.
A man reportedly grabbed the female employee from behind. When she pushed him away, he reportedly exposed himself and then ran out of the building.
A witness who saw one of the two other incidents said she doesn't feel safe at the business.
Police are asking any other witnesses to come forward in hopes of locating the suspect.
