BERKELEY, Calif., July 5 (UPI) -- Police in Berkeley, Calif., cautioned residents to be on the lookout for two men pretending to sell newspapers door-to-door after one of them exposed himself.

The men are said to be in their 20s and have dark hair, the newspaper said.

Police said one of the men allegedly showed his genitals to the woman after they had a brief conversation, while the other fled.

Officials said Berkeley residents should be extremely cautious when answering the door for people they don't know.
