Arrest Made in Guelph: Man Accused of Public Indecency and Harassment

In a recent development, Guelph Police have arrested a man for allegedly following women and making crude comments while masturbating in a local area. The man was charged with four counts of committing an indecent act.

The first incident occurred on Saturday at a business on Woolwich Street, near Speedvale Avenue. A woman in her 40s was followed by the man to the washroom and out onto the street, where he began masturbating. The woman fled in her vehicle. No further details about the identity of the victim were provided in the article.

A second incident occurred about three hours later in the same area. A woman in her 50s was walking with a friend when a man began following them. He stood close to the women as they waited at a crosswalk and began masturbating. No details about the identity of the victims in the mid-August incidents were provided in the article.

The man was also involved in similar incidents reported in mid-August, but no further details about the charges for these incidents were provided. There is no information in the provided search results about a 29-year-old individual involved in similar incidents reported on a Wednesday last month.

The police have not mentioned any connection between the man's actions and the presence of a family with young children at a bus stop. They have, however, urged women to be vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to authorities.

No further details about the identity of the suspect were provided in the article. The police have not issued any new warnings or urgings about vigilance in the area since the mid-August incidents.

The incidents occurred in the same area near Woolwich Street and Speedvale Avenue, but not specifically on the same day as the previous incidents. While speaking to the women, he was touching himself, according to the police.

The Guelph Police are taking these incidents seriously and are asking anyone with information to come forward. The public is reminded to be aware of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity to the police immediately.
