The Winnipeg Police Service is asking the public for information regarding a male attempting to inappropriately engage with children in North Kildonan and East Kildonan.
On July 18, 2023, officers responded to a report of a male exposing himself to children at a park at Donwood School. He also approached the children and engaged them in an inappropriate conversation. The children ran away and notified a nearby adult, who contacted police.
Later that evening, police were notified of a report about a male following young girls on his mountain bike and engaging them in an inappropriate conversation in the Valley Gardens area. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the individual.
The male is described as Indigenous, with a large build, 18 to 20 years old, wearing a grey shirt, black shorts, a thin black mustache, and black bushy hair. He was riding a black mountain bike.
Anyone with information about the identity of this male is asked to call the Child Abuse Unit at 204-986-3296 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS or winnipegcrimestoppers.org
