TORONTO – Police have issued a warning after a man was allegedly caught “acting suspiciously” around children at a community event in the Upper Beaches area of Toronto last week.
It is alleged the incident happened on Dec. 2 around 7 p.m. in the Kingston Road and Woodbine Avenue area.
Police said an unknown man, who was not a parent or guardian, was watching the children “intently” during a supervised arts and crafts activity.
It is alleged he engaged in suspicious behaviour while trying to interact with the children.
The accused is described as white, between 65-75 years of age, 5’4″ tall, 145-150 pounds, bald with facial hair and a long thin face.
