Dauphin RCMP are asking the public for any information connected to a number of recent incidents involving a suspicious male.

On March 31, 2014, just before 6pm, a motorist was flagged down on Highway 5, approximately 10 kilometers west of Dauphin, Manitoba. A man approached the motorist’s vehicle saying to the female driver that he was in possession of pantyhose and a condom. He then attempted to strike up a conversation. The woman was able to drive away.

Police say that the following day, a similar incident was reported to the Dauphin RCMP.  A woman was sitting in her vehicle on 1st Avenue N.E. in Dauphin when she was approached by a man who stated he sells women’s pantyhose.

RCMP report that the man is described as being in his thirties with light hair. He was wearing a black coat with dark pants and was driving a white newer-model truck.

Anyone with information on either of these two occurrences is asked to contact the Dauphin RCMP at 204-622-5020 or call Manitoba Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477. You can also submit a secure tip online at www.manitobacrimestoppers.com or text TIPMAN plus your message to CRIMES(274637).
