Two separate suspicious incidents in one Vancouver neighbourhood have now been reported to police.
A woman was walking her dog in the area of Main Street and East 1st Avenue on Sunday just before 1 p.m. when she noticed two men were following her.
She told police the men didn’t speak to her but said they would stare at her and then look at their cellphones when she looked at them. When she went home she called police.
