RCMP in Beaumont are investigating after receiving reports of a man who appeared to be committing an indecent act, in public, over the weekend.
Police said officers received reports surrounding the activities of an unidentified man Saturday, October 26.
A group of pre-teen girls reported to RCMP that they had first seen the man in question earlier that afternoon, near the Aqua-fit Centre on 50 Avenue, and he was reportedly acting suspiciously – he had reportedly watched them for a while, and walked by them twice without talk to them.
The same girls said that later on, at about 3 p.m., they saw the same man near the Four Seasons Park area, and from a distance he appeared to be committing an indecent act.
The man left a short time later when a jogger approached.
The man is described as:
- Caucasian
- About 177 cm (5’10”) tall
- Late 20s
- Skinny build, with a belly roll at his waistline
- Oval face, with a pointy chin
- Glasses
The man was wearing a black baseball cap, black sweater, white t-shirt, dark jeans, and was carrying a black single-strap bag.
RCMP said the incident appears to be isolated, as no other similar events were reported to police – the details of what the man appeared to be doing is being withheld as the incident is under investigation.
