KAMLOOPS — Two recent reports of a man chasing children in the park have Kamloops police turning to the public for more information.

A similar report was received at about 6:20 p.m. on April 16 and in both occurrences the man appeared to be with a nearby female.

“The Kamloops RCMP detachment is looking to speak with the man, the woman he was with or someone who may know him to discuss the report and help further the investigation,” Cpl. Crystal Evelyn, Kamloops RCMP detachment spokesperson, said in a press release.

The man was described as a 40-to-50-year-old, balding, heavyset and white, with a pronounced lower lip. He was wearing a grey or black shirt and grey shorts.
