A man will face Newcastle Local Court today charged over allegedly committing an indecent act in front of two teenage girls in Edgeworth.
Police say two 14-year-old girls were walking along Main Road Edgeworth at about 8:30pm on Monday night (January 1, 2018) when a man allegedly approached them before committing an indecent act.
The girls ran away and told a family member who reported the incident with police.
Following inquiries, officers from Lake Macquarie Local Area Command attended a home in Edgeworth where they arrested a 48-year-old man and took him to Toronto Police Station.
He was charged with two counts of committing an aggravated act of indecency and refused bail.
