Charges have been approved against a 59-year-old man in relation to an Indecent Act that occurred on Lougheed Highway in North Burnaby earlier this year.

On May 12, 2022, Burnaby RCMP received a report that a driver was masturbating inside a vehicle on Lougheed Highway near Gaglardi Way.

Burnaby RCMP’s High Risk Offender Unit took conduct of the investigation with assistance from other plainclothes units within the detachment.
