The man is described as Caucasian in appearance, around 185cm tall with a proportionate build and was wearing dark coloured clothing.
Investigators are appealing to anyone with information to come forward, and are asking homeowners, businesses and motorists in the vicinity to provide relevant CCTV or dashcam footage. Anonymous reports can be made.
