WINNIPEG — Winnipeg Police have located a person of interest in regards to what they call a “disturbing” incident at St. Vital Centre last week.
Officers released a photo of a man on Saturday who was of interest to the investigation.
On Sunday, officers said they located the man in the photo and spoke to him.
No charges have been laid and officers said they’ll wait to see the test results of the substance found on the 14-year-old girl’s back at St. Vital Centre last week.
The Sex Crimes Unit is investigating an incident at the shopping centre after a mother contacted police to share her daughter’s story.

The woman said her daughter and her friends were at the mall when they noticed a man following them.
The girls said the man appeared to be holding a paper towel wrapped around a cylinder-type object.
When the girls noticed this, they ducked away to hide and when the 14-year-old went to scratch her back she found she was covered in what her mother calls “some sort of sticky wet liquid.”
Officers are investigating further and said they’ll continue to wait for the results to figure out just what that substance was.
