Alexandria Police Department Investigates Indecent
Exposure Cases in the Del Ray Area

For Immediate Release: February 26, 2021

The Alexandria Police Department is investigating several indecent exposure cases in the Del Ray neighborhood.

There
have been approximately 10-11 cases of indecent exposure between May 2020 and
February 2021. The incidents occurred on
different streets including Mount Vernon Avenue and E. Glendale Avenue, and usually
in the morning. The suspect’s
description has varied from case to case, making it hard to determine the
number of suspects involved. In one
case, our K-9 unit was able to track the suspect’s scent for a short distance,
but then lost it. There have been no
injuries reported in any of these incidents.

The
Police department encourages anyone who is a victim or witnessed these
incidents to call 9-1-1. If you live in
the neighborhood, please review your security cameras and call police if there
is suspicious activity.

Remember,
if you “See Something, Say Something.”

• Call 9-1-1
  immediately. Time is valuable. The sooner a victim or witness calls 911, the
  quicker officers will respond to the scene.
• Encourage victims to
  speak up and call 9-1-1 to report the incident.
• Share as many details
  as you can. Clothing, height, weight, hair
  and eye color. If you see a vehicle,
  note the make and model, color, license plate, and any distinguishing features
  (tinted windows, stickers, etc.)
• If it is safe, snap a
  picture or record video.
• Review your security
  camera video from about 30 minutes before and after an incident. Call police if you captured anything.

Information Officer, at amanda.paga@alexandriava.gov or
