Two indecent acts being investigated

Halifax District RCMP is investigating two reports of indecent acts that occurred in Fall River and Wellington yesterday afternoon.

At 4:38 p.m., RCMP responded to a complaint of a male masturbating in the woods while watching children at a playground on Parkside Ave., Wellington. The man is described as white, approximately 50 years of age, six feet tall, clean shaven, wearing a dark long sleeved shirt or hoodie. He was seen driving away from the area in a dark, older model mini van.

At 4:56 p.m., RCMP responded to a second complaint at a soccer field on Foster Ave., Fall River where a male was exposing himself to children playing in the field. The suspect’s description was similar to the man in Wellington, however he was wearing a toque at the time of the incident. In both incidents, the man did not attempt to speak with the children.
