Pervert flashes child

Nanaimo RCMP are on the hunt for a pervert who exposed himself to a child.

Sgt. Sheryl Armstrong said a man exposed himself to a nine-year-old girl at Nanaimo Harbour Front on the evening of Aug. 12.

“A family was out for a stroll with their two young children and were walking up the spiral staircase near Javawacky coffee shop,” said Armstrong. “While walking, they noticed a male between 50-60 years sitting on a bench at the top of the stairs. At one point, the mother turned to go back down the stairs to get her son when she heard her daughter calling for her. Her daughter told her mother the male had pulled down his pants and exposed (himself) to her. The husband tried to find the male, but the suspect had left the area and could not be located.”

The suspect is a white male, 50-60 years old, weighing 140-150 pounds, about five feet eight inches tall with a slight build and short, unkempt brown hair. He was wearing an olive-green, button-down, long-sleeve shirt and washed-out dark pants.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or CrimeStoppers at nanaimocrimestoppers.com, text 274637, keyword Nanaimo or call 1-800-222-8477.
