In an “unsettling” set of circumstances, Vancouver Police Const. Tania Visintin said, “preliminary evidence suggests the same suspect is responsible for all three indecent acts. We’re working to determine if this man is connected to other unsolved cases in Vancouver and neighboring cities.”

The first incident occurred March 20 when police allege a man exposed his genitals to a student in the library.

A week later, the same person was reported to have flashed his private parts to a staff member at the college. This incident was reported to police, but the man left before cops were notified.

Then on April 19, a man exposed his genitals to a student inside the library, police allege. He left before the police arrived.

In all three incidents, the man was described as being dark-skinned and about 5-foot-5 to 5-foot-7 tall, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 604-717-0604.
