Indecent exposure on North Vancouver trail: RCMP seek to identify male suspect

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      RCMP are alerting trail users about an incident exposure that took place in North Vancouver about two weeks ago.

      In the afternoon on July 13, two women were walking on the Upper Shinglebolt Trail, west of Capilano Road, in North Vancouver.

      When a male with a dog ran past them, he pulled up his shorts and exposed his genitals.

      The suspect is described as an Indigenous male who is about 30 years old and 183 centimetres (six feet) tall with a lean build, dark short hair, and a goatee. The composite sketch above was based on the description from the witnesses.

      At the time, he was wearing red shorts, a tan-coloured sleeveless shirt, and running shoes.

      His dog accompanying him was off-leash and described as a medium-size mixed-breed German Shepherd.

      "This indecent act is concerning to police as it occurred in a public place during the daytime,” North Vancouver media relations officer Sgt. Peri Mainwaring stated in a news release. “It is believed to be an isolated incident but police are urging trail users to report any encounters of this nature to police."

      Anyone who has information about this individual is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP.
