Indecent exposure on Nanaimo trail

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 17 Oct, 2024 09:44 AM
  • Indecent exposure on Nanaimo trail

Mounties in Nanaimo are warning the public after a case of indecent exposure on a local trail.

The incident took place around 1 p-m on October 15th on the Cable Bay Trail, where officers met with a 49-year-old woman who seemed to be shaken.

Police say the woman told officers that she encountered a man crouched down in nearby bushes with his pants down, allegedly committing an indecent act.

Police were unable to locate the suspect despite several patrols, and hikers are now asked to avoid engaging the man if encountered and to notify police immediately.
