Darpan News Desk, 22 Nov, 2017 10:40 AM
    Richmond RCMP has released a forensic sketch in relation to a suspicious incident that occurred near Whiteside Elementary School on November 15, 2017.
     
    Shortly before 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 15, police responded to a field near the school to investigate a suspicious incident where the young student was allegedly grabbed on her arm by a male in his 40s or 50s.
     
    10-yr-old was running laps around a nearby field, where the man allegedly took pictures with his cell phone.
     
    “Though the student advised our investigator that she did not feel threatened, the incident is considered unusual and the motive unclear,” said Cpl. Dennis Hwang.
     
     
    The male is described as: 
     
    · Asian male
    · 40-50 years old age
    · 5’7 to 5’10 in height
    · Medium build
    · Black hair
    · Clean shaven
    · Wearing brown pants and a black and blue sweater
     
     
    The police do wish to speak to this person of interest. If anyone from the community recognizes him, they are urged to contact the Richmond RCMP.
