Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) officers have arrested a man following reports of an indecent act near a public park in Pickering.
On Monday, April 7, around 9:50 am, officers from West Division responded to a call in the area of Diefenbaker Court and Valley Farm Road. According to police, a witness saw a naked man standing outside a tent and committing an indecent act near a public playground. Officers arrived shortly after and arrested the suspect without incident.
Further investigation linked the man to a separate incident on April 4. In that case, police say a woman reported being chased by the same suspect at a nearby plaza. The victim was able to get to safety inside a nearby building while the suspect fled in another direction.
No physical injuries were reported in either incident.
A 37-year-old male from Pickering was charged and held for a bail hearing. Name and further details available at www.drps.ca.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Cst. Churchill of West Division at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 1902.
