On February 15th at approximately 11:00 am, New Westminster Police Department officers were called to Glenbrook Middle School for a report of indecent exposure.

Staff at the school phoned the New Westminster Police Department to report that an unknown male exposed his genitals to a group of children on the school grounds. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, between 40 to 50 years of age, standing 5’6" tall, with a medium build, balding dark hair, wearing a blue puffy jacket, dark blue jeans, and black shoes. The suspect fled across 8th Avenue and towards McBride Boulevard and the Royal Square parking lot. Police are asking anyone with dash cam footage from that area between 10:30 am and 11:30 am to contact police.

"There were a number of witnesses who saw this incident and investigators will be looking to gather as much information as possible," stated Sergeant Sanjay Kumar. "While these kinds of situations are not overly common, they are certainly alarming for anyone to witness."
