Sunshine Coast RCMP investigating recent incidents in trails near Gibsons

Sunshine Coast RCMP are asking for the public’s help after two recent incidents on wooded trails in Gibsons.

On Jan. 23 just after 3 p.m., a 14-year-old girl was followed by a man while walking near Shaw Road and the Inglis Trail. She ran to the end of the trail and later called police.

The suspect is described as a white male about five-foot-seven to five-foot-nine, wearing all black clothing and a dark face covering.

RCMP said a second incident occurred Jan. 26 at about 4 p.m. near Shaw Road and O’Shea Road, where a man dressed in all black exposed himself to a woman on a trail before running away when she began recording video.

Police believe both incidents involve the same suspect and are asking anyone who recognises the person, witnessed any suspicious activity or has CCTV footage from the area to contact Sunshine Coast RCMP
