Richmond RCMP would like to speak to a man in connection with a suspicious occurrence that took place on Dec. 1, just before 1:30 a.m.

Police say they were called to the River Rock Casino after a 31-year-old woman, who left the SkyTrain and went to the casino to use the restroom, reported the incident.

She says a man allegedly followed her and then proceeded to photograph her with a smartphone as she was using one of the stalls.

Police say the suspect fled when confronted and was last seen heading towards the Bridgeport Station Canada Line.
