Burnaby RCMP are on the lookout for a man who allegedly exposed himself to a 12 year-old girl late last month.
Police said the girl was walking home from school along Pandora Street at Holdom Avenue on Sept. 29 when a man driving a white vehicle drove alongside her and asked for directions
The girl spoke to the man, who then drove away. However, he approached a few minutes later and asked the girl again for the same directions. This time the man allegedly exposed himself, according to police. The incident happened at 3:30 p.m.
"We're pleased the young girl was able to quickly run away to safety. She was not followed by the male," said RCMP Sgt. Derek Thibodeau, in a statement. "However, we are looking for anyone who might be able to provide us with more information about this incident, or the suspect."
He said there have been other cases in Burnaby of someone exposing themselves in public in the last month, but investigators haven’t found a link to this latest incident.
Thibodeau said the police are warning the public because of the girl’s age.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, 30 to 40 years old, with brown hair, a brown beard and wearing reflective sunglasses. The vehicle he was driving is described as a white four door sedan, fairly new, and possibly a Toyota.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-8477.
