Police are looking for a man who allegedly exposed himself to middle school students in Redlands on Monday.
At least two female Moore Middle School students saw a man exposing himself around 8 a.m. as they were walking to a bus stop on Sun Avenue and Calhoun Street, police said.
The same man allegedly approached another student and tried talking with her. He did not expose himself in that case, police said.
The man was seen by at least two girls and one other person masturbating outside his car while looking toward a school bus stop, police said.
He was described as Hispanic, between 20 and 30 years old, with a medium build, a thin mustache, goatee, "perfect teeth," and dark hair.
He is about 5 feet 7 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a gray zip-up hoodie and shorts, and was driving a 2008 to 2014 silver or gray four-door sedan, possibly a Kia Optima.
Moore Middle School administrators sent a letter to parents warning them of the incident.
