Police investigate Indecent Acts
Police are investigating two indecent acts that occurred in Dartmouth earlier this morning.
On May 27, 2022 at approximately 7:06 a.m. police responded to a report of an indecent act in the drive thru of the McDonald’s restaurant located at 144 Main Street in Dartmouth. A man was seen exposing himself to staff while waiting for an order. This incident was believed to have occurred at or near 4:00 a.m. this morning.
Later in the morning, on this same date, at approximately 10:09 a.m. police responded to a report of another indecent act in the drive thru of the Tim Horton’s restaurant located at 365 Pleasant Street in Dartmouth. A very similar incident as reported earlier, was given to police in where a man exposed himself to staff at the drive thru window. This incident was believed to have happen at or near 5:00 a.m. this morning, just an hour after the original incident.
The man was described as white, between 25-30 years old, short brown or blonde hair with facial hair and blue eyes. The vehicle he operated is described as an older 4 door maroon sedan. No license plate was obtained in either incident.
At the time of the incidents, the man was believed to be wearing a grey hoodie.
Due to the proximity of businesses, timing of the occurrences, suspect and vehicle description combined with the allegations, police suspect the same individual may be involved.
Anyone who may have information in relation to these incidents, or potentially others, is asked to call police at 902-490-5020. Anonymous tips can be sent to Crime Stoppers by calling toll-free 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), submitting a secure web tip at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca or by using the P3 Tips app.
