The youth didn’t know the location and walked away from the truck, but the man called the child back, according to police.

“This time the man had his pants pulled down and said something similar to ‘Have you seen one of these before?’ while exposing his erect penis,” Const. James Grandy said in a news release.

“The child immediately turned around and walked away, as the man immediately drove away.”

The suspect is described as a Caucasian man with a grey moustache in his 60s. He was wearing a dark grey hat and dark shirt.

Police said his vehicle is believed to be an FX Ford Ranger with a white box in the bed of the truck but no canopy. It looked shiny and new and had “FX” on the side of the truck.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 250-492-4300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
