Mounties in Kamloops, B.C., are trying to identify a man who allegedly committed an indecent act in a thrift store last month. The incident occurred at around 11:30 a.m. on May 29, according to authorities, who described what a female shopper told police happened at a shop on the 900 block of Columbia Avenue West. “She felt someone staring at her and turned to observe a male allegedly masturbating in the aisle near her. When the suspect realized the woman had seen him, he fled,” a statement from Kamloops RCMP said. Police have not been able to identify the man and released a photo Tuesday in an attempt to advance the investigation. The suspect is described as a white man, standing 6’ tall with a medium build, brown hair and a brown beard, and he is estimated be around 30 years old. When he drove away from the thrift shop, he was behind the wheel of a late-model silver Honda Civic. Anyone who can identify the man is urged to call 250-828-3000 and quote file number 2026-16921.
