“Investigation determined an adult male lured a child, who was under the age of 6, to an isolated area of the business property,” the Warman RCMP explained in a statement.
“The child did not know the male. He exposed himself to the child. The incident was interrupted by the child’s family. The man fled into a nearby treed area.”
The child was not physically injured, the RCMP noted.
Mounties searched the area with police dogs, but couldn’t locate the suspect.
“He is described as approximately 6’ with a medium build. He has a light complexion, medium-length curly blonde hair, and is clean shaven. He has spaces between his teeth,” the RCMP said.
“He was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, gray mirrored sunglasses, a blue shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.”
Police released a drawing of the suspect, which was created by an RCMP forensic sketch artist, and asked anyone who recognizes the man – and anyone who noticed suspicious activity in the area on Friday – to contact the Warman RCMP detachment. Tips can also be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers, the RCMP noted.
