Nanaimo RCMP are trying to identify this man in connection with an incident in which a man took a picture of himself up a woman’s skirt at a Walmart store on North Island Highway.
Nanaimo RCMP are investigating a second incident of a man taking a photo up a woman’s skirt at a store on the same day and around the same time as the first.
The victims of both incidents reported that it happened around 2 pm on July 29, the first at a Dollarama store at 609 Bruce Ave., and the second at a Walmart store at 6801 North Island Highway .
The two stores are about 10 kilometers apart and the incidents do not involve the same suspect — the men are about 20 years apart, said Const. Gary O’Brien.
A suspect in the first case has already been identified and is cooperating with police, O’Brien said.
The two incidents happening at the same time are “very strange,” he said.
The complainant at the Walmart store said she was shopping when she saw a man with his phone outside and his skirt lifted up. She yelled at him and he quickly left.
When she found an employee to help her, the suspect appeared to have left the store.
Security cameras captured a poor image of the man, who is described as white, middle-aged and of medium height with a muscular build. He was wearing a gray shirt with white lettering on the front, a black hat, shorts and sandals.
In the first incident, video surveillance showed the victim crouching and looking away while the suspect’s phone was pointed under her skirt. The victim’s boyfriend chased the suspect before exchanging blows with him. The suspect managed to free himself and get to his vehicle.
