Steinbach RCMP are currently investigating a report of a suspicious male that approached a teenage girl last night in the Clearspring Mall parking lot near the picnic tables located north of McDonald’s. The investigation so far has determined that a middle aged man, described as; Caucasian in appearance, average height and build, unshaven, short black hair, wearing a baseball cap, eye glasses, a black jacket and black jeans, approached this teenage girl and had asked her questions about a dog she had been playing with earlier and also asked her questions about where her parents were. At one point, the male put his arm around the teen and attempted to hug her. The teen distanced herself from the male and the male eventually left the area driving an older black four door car with a bicycle rack with bicycle on the back of it.

By providing information that Crime Stoppers will share with law enforcement agencies, you are providing an important and valuable public service. We understand that disclosure of your identity might put you at risk. We do everything we can to protect your anonymity. However, that anonymity may be open to challenge in the following situations:
- A call to Crime Stoppers made with the intention of “furthering criminal activity or interfering with the administration of justice”. A party who is guilty of a crime cannot use Crime Stoppers to try to divert the blame onto someone else. Crime Stoppers cannot be used to try to “frame” an innocent person.
- There is evidence that disclosure of some or all of a tip is necessary to establish someone’s innocence.
- A tipster having received the benefit of full legal advice may, for his or her own reasons, elect to waive the privilege.
