RCMP in Wetaskiwin, about an hour south of Edmonton, are asking for help finding a man who allegedly groped and kissed a stranger in early summer.

At about 9:45 p.m. on May 28, 2022, police said a girl was standing on the sidewalk south of Wetaskiwin City Hall when four young men in a red four-door sedan pulled up.

One of the men, described as having dirty blond and messy shoulder length hair, got out of the car and offered the girl alcohol. The man was wearing white or beige pants, a red sweater and black shoes.
