burnaby rcmp warns of several indecent acts in central park

the burnaby rcmp is investigating three separate reports of indecent acts in a park this week.
police said a man engaged in an indecent act in different areas of central park on sunday, monday and thursday.
the acts took place at different times of day, rcmp said, and ranged from the suspect exposing himself to masturbating in public.
investigators say they’re trying to identify a suspect or suspects and determine if any of the incidents are connected.
“these types of incidents are extremely concerning for police and the public. we want to ensure that people are informed, so they remain vigilant and take appropriate precautions, including staying aware of their surroundings,” said michael kalanj, a spokesperson for the burnaby rcmp.
“we also want to strongly encourage people to contact police immediately to report any similar incidents or suspicious behaviour.”
anyone with information about these crimes is asked to contact the burnaby rcmp at 604-646-9999.
