Vancouver police are looking for more victims who authorities say were tricked into watching a man masturbate while he sat in a pickup truck last July.
Const. Jason Doucette said a man was arrested after police received a string of reports of a male pulling up beside women walking on a sidewalk to strike up a conversation and draw attention to the inside of his vehicle, where he was fondling himself.
Doucette said the investigation has revealed that there may be more victims out there.
