Cops have confirmed they are hunting a sick flasher who reportedly resembles a Grand Theft Auto character after he allegedly targeted a child in a Scots Asda store.
The disturbing incident reportedly took place at the Superstore in Dyce, Aberdeen when a youngster went to use the toilets and saw a man "touching himself" who then "tried to lure him" into a cubical before fleeing the scene.
The alleged victim's concerned mum took to social media to warn other parents and said her kid claimed the man looked like Lester Crest from the video game Grand Theft Auto.
She then reported the incident to police who have confirmed they are investigating the incident and following a positive line of enquiry.
The mum shared the alleged experience on a local Facebook page and wrote: "My son was at Asda Dyce today when he was in the toilets washing his hands and a man came and stood by him at the sinks and was touching himself, he then tried to get my son into the cubical with him.
"He said he looked similar to Lester from GTA but with hair. The police said he was accurate with the description, he had a crutch/walking stick and was carrying a black and white leopard print thermal cup."
She added: "They have him on CCTV. So they are trying to find out who he is.
"I’m just glad he knew what to do in this situation and ran to the customer service. Could have been so much worse had this been a younger child."
