Seeking Public Assistance - Indecent Act

The Calgary Police Service is seeking public assistance in identifying a man responsible for an indecent act.

At approximately 4:25 p.m., on Friday, April 4, 2014, two 14-year-old girls were walking in the 300 block of Sienna Park Drive S.W. A stranger stood a few metres from the teens before getting their attention. As the teens turned to look at the man, they noticed he was masturbating. The girls immediately ran from the area and called a trusted adult, who then called police.

On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, police completed a composite drawing of the suspect and are releasing it to the public in hopes of identifying the man. The drawing is available on the City of Calgary Newsroom.

Investigators are reviewing another incident from earlier the same day, when two young girls had an unusual encounter with a man matching the same description.

At approximately 3:45 p.m., two 11-year-old girls encountered a man in the 2700 block of 49 Street S.W. The youth allege the man, who was standing at the back of a vehicle, began touching himself as he watched them walk by. The girls ran away from the area.

The suspect is described as having a medium skin tone, possibly Hispanic, 25 to 30 years old, 5’11” tall, with short black hair. He was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans. The vehicle is described as a silver or gold, four-door sedan.

Police are asking anyone with information about these incidents, or the identity of the suspect(s) to contact 403-266-1234 or Crime Stoppers anonymously using any of the following methods:
