The Canadian Press, 16 Feb, 2018 01:32 PM

Vancouver police say they are looking for a male suspect after a 12-year-old girl was groped on the city's west side.

They say the girl was walking at about 7:45 a.m. Tuesday when she stopped at a corner to use her phone.

It's alleged a man dressed in black ran up to her and quickly groped her before running away.

The man is described as white, in his late 40s to early 50s, with grey stubble on his face, and he may have had a noticeable freckle on his cheek by his right eye.
