Police are looking for a suspicious man after he threatened three young girls.

Officers who responded to a call on the 500 block of St. Anne's Road Thursday morning met with three girls.

Two of the girls were walking in the area at about 11:40 a.m. when a man came up to them, and then chased them as they tried to leave. The two girls weren't hurt.

Police said the man approached a third girl in the area and yelled at her.

Police are now looking for a man who looks Aboriginal and is in his thirties. He's about 5'6 to 5'9, and had a brown mustache. He wore a black and red plaid jacket, a grey hoodie and dark jeans. He also had black gloves with red on them.

Anyone with information is asked to call 204-986-2857, or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
