Frontline officers searched the area with help from the Police Dog Services Unit but were unable to locate the suspect.

However, they were able to provide a description of the suspect. He is described as a Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years of age, with a large build and standing at about 5’8”.

He was wearing a black fur-trimmed parka and carrying a backpack. No other information has been released at this time.
