Police are looking for a man who approached young children in the southeast communities of Abbeydale and Applewood.
They’re treating the two incidents as suspicious.
In the first one, on May 24th around 3:30 p.m. the man was seen approaching a nine-year-old girl on Abbercove Lane S.E.
He offered to show her pictures on his cell phone.
A witness saw the interaction, called the girl and the man walked away.
In the latest incident, a man is said to have approached a young child in the 100 block of Appleglen Park S.E. on June 14th around 4:30 p.m. When confronted, he fled the area.
Acting Staff Sgt. Mark Hatchette tells 660News while both incidents are similar, they can’t confirm if they are related.
The man is described as Caucasian, 35 to 45 years-of-age, approximately 5’10” tall, 160-180 lbs, with collar-length, dirty brown hair, and was wearing dirty clothing.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 403-206-7979.
