On Friday, Los Angeles police arrested Luis Bucio-Cedeno, 24, after two years of chasing the man known as the "red car flasher."

An LAPD press release stated:

After two years, dozens of sightings, several composite sketches, we got a break in February when a female jogger wrote down a license plate for the van of a man who had exposed himself to her.

During that same exposure incident, a red Toyota was parked in front of the van. The victim remembered seeing the Toyota’s driver speaking to the van’s driver, but when the van left, she was astounded to see the Toyota’s driver also expose himself to her.

The van’s license plate set detectives on a trail that led to identifying several other cars, one of which was registered to Bucio-Cedeno in North Hills. Eleven separate exposure victims identified Bucio-Cedeno from photo line-ups.
“We followed Bucio-Cedeno for a couple weeks, hoping to corroborate the identifications by catching him in the red car, but he never drove one,” Lt. Vernon explained. “We decided we had enough for a warrant so detectives presented the case to the City Attorney’s office and got a warrant.”

Police officers went to Bucio-Cedeno’s house Friday evening and used a ruse to get residents to come outside. When Bucio-Cedeno walked out, he was arrested.

Bucio-Cedeno has been charged with 19 criminal counts, including indecent exposure, child annoying, lewd conduct and sexual battery. He is currently being held in the Los Angeles County Jail on an immigration detainer.

More charges may be forthcoming, as police believe there are more victims.

Anyone with information on this crime is urged to call LAPD Mission Detectives, at 818-838-9975.
