KEREMEOS – Police are hoping the public can help them find the man who allegedly exposed himself to an adolescent girl in Keremeos almost two months.

It happened at about 5:40 pm., April 16, according to a RCMP media release issued Friday, June 5.

The suspected flasher is described as a man his 20s with lightly coloured skin, possibly Caucasian, about 5’7” with a slender build and muscular arms. He had short black hair, about 1 to 2 inches long and dark coloured eyes. He was clean-shaven and had a facial skin condition, possibly acne.

The suspect has a tattoo of a lizard or dragon on his right upper arm, was wearing rings on every other finger on both his hands, had a piercing on his left eyebrow and a gold bracelet on one of his wrists.
