A 21-year-old man from the RM of St. Andrews is facing charges after two women reported separate incidents of indecent exposure earlier this month.
According to the Selkirk RCMP, officers first received a report on June 15 regarding an incident that had occurred the previous evening along River Road in the RM of St. Andrews.
A female complainant told police that at approximately 9:30 p.m. on June 14, an unknown man driving a white vehicle stopped in front of her and exposed himself.
The following day, at approximately 4:43 p.m., the same woman spotted the same individual parked in a church parking lot in the RM of St. Andrews. She was able to provide police with a description of the suspect, along with details about the vehicle and its licence plate.
Later that evening, at 8:24 p.m., Selkirk RCMP received a second complaint from another woman involving the same white vehicle at a car wash in Selkirk.
Police said the suspect exited one of the wash bays before leaving the building and then returning to park in a bay beside the complainant. The man allegedly exposed himself several times while watching the woman wash her vehicle.
Following the reports, Selkirk RCMP, the Selkirk RCMP General Investigation Section and the Manitoba Integrated High Risk Sex Offender Unit launched an investigation to locate the suspect.
On June 18, officers arrested a 21-year-old man from the RM of St. Andrews. He has been charged with two counts of committing an indecent act.
The accused was released on conditions and is scheduled to appear in court in Selkirk on Aug. 7.
The investigation remains ongoing.
