North Vancouver suspicious person investigation

NORTH Vancouver RCMP are seeking public assistance in a suspicious person investigation.

On November 18 at approximately 7 p.m. on a walking trail near Blueridge Elementary, an adult man approached a 14-year-old teenager and asked him to accompany him to help him find his dog. In a second incident the following day at approximately 4 p.m. on a walking trail near Seymour Heights Elementary, the same teenager reported being approached by the same man.

The man is described as white, in his mid-30s, 5’7 tall, very skinny, with dark brown hair and hazel or brown eyes. Police are releasing a composite sketch of the unidentified male, and are seeking public assistance in identifying him in order to further their investigation.

“We have no reason to believe there is any heightened risk to the public at this time” said Constable Kelly McIntyre. “However, we would like to speak with the man.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the North Vancouver RCMP (604) 985-1311. If you wish to make an anonymous report, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
