Waterbury police are searching for a man they say exposed himself to three young girls and tried to convince a fourth to enter his car.

Edgardo Lopez, 29, of 45 Bergin Circle, faces a slew of charges stemming from four separate incidents.

Last Friday, a 10-year-old girl was walking on Radcliffe Avenue in the city's East End when a man in a dark-colored car called to her. The girl, a student at nearby Chase School, walked to the car, where police say the man exposed himself to her.

The next day, police said, the same man in the same car was on Overton Avenue, also in the city's East End, when he tried to convince another 10-year-old girl to get in his car. The girl refused.

This week, detectives in unmarked cars conducted surveillance near Chase School.
