Morinville RCMP are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who allegedly exposed himself in Sturgeon County’s Riverlot 56 Natural Area, along St. Albert's southeast boundary.
The incident happened May 13 at about 12:14 p.m. as two female youths were walking on a trail on the northwest side of Sturgeon Road. The girls spotted a man in a clump of trees. They initially believed he was urinating in the woods, but quickly realized he appeared to be masturbating.
They continued walking on the trail and spotted him a second time. He again appeared to be masturbating. The pair fled and approached two adult women who escorted them from the area.
The suspect is described as possibly in his mid-40s with dark skin, and dark brown or black hair. He is heavy-set and at the time was wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.
He was later observed walking away from the area in a southeasterly direction. Despite an extensive search, police were unable to locate him.
Anyone with information, the identity of the suspect, or a vehicle he may have been driving, is asked to call Morinville RCMP at 780-939-4520 or go online at www.P3Tips.com.
