A 27-year-old man was arrested this morning after he allegedly exposed his genitals and made sexual advances toward two women in Langford.

Police received the first call at 7 a.m., a First Nations man wearing a grey sweatshirt and blue sweat pants had approached a woman in 2700-block of Grainger Road. Police said the man pulled down his pants and exposed his genitals while making sexual advances towards her.

Police said the man pulled down his pants and exposed his genitals while making sexual advances towards her.

The woman walked away and so did the suspect.

An hour and a half later, the same man approached a woman in Goldstream Park. Police said he made sexual advances and grabbed her buttocks.

The woman fought him off and called police right away.

Officers were on scene within minutes and arrested the man. The suspect has no fixed address.

“The detailed description that was provided and the timely report to police was key in locating and arresting this suspect,” said West Shore RCMP spokesman Const. Alex Bérubé.

“That prompt call to police likely prevented further harm to other women,” Bérubé added.

The suspect is still in custody while officers continue to investigate.

Anyone with further information is asked to contact the West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.
