Investigators believe one man was responsible for two separate incidents in Windsor’s east end last week — both involving inappropriate behaviour with teenage girls.
The first incident happened on Jan. 15 around 8 a.m. in the area of Guy Street and Ellrose Avenue. A teenage girl saw a man standing in a driveway and performing an indecent act as she walked by.
According to the girl, the man waved and said something to her.
The second incident happened four days later, on Jan. 19, around 7:40 a.m. in the area of Tecumseh Road East and Princess Avenue.
A different teenage girl was walking through a parking lot when a man riding a bicycle approached her from behind.
According to the girl, the bicycle struck her and its rider touched her inappropriately. The victim fell to the ground and her assailant pedalled away.
Both girls provided similar descriptions of the man they encountered.
Police also obtained a surveillance video recording of a bicycle rider who they believe was the man in the second encounter.
The man is described as a white male who appears to be in his late 40s or early 50s. He’s about five-foot-six to five-foot-seven-inches tall with a skinny build, scruffy grey and black hair on his face and crooked yellow teeth.
At the time of the second incident, the man wore a black bomber-style winter jacket, dark blue jeans and a black tuque. The bicycle he was riding was black with straight handle bars.
Anyone with information about the man is encouraged to call detectives at 519-255-6700 ext. 4830.
