Jan 30, 2023 | 2:39 PM

Police are looking for a man wanted for sexually assaulting a girl who was under the age of 10 at the Lashburn hockey rink on January 29.

Maidstone RCMP said the assault was in a dressing room of the arena and happened between noon and 1:30 pm.

The girl’s parents called the police who are now looking for a man in his 40s with dark hair, clean shaven and wearing a blue jacket on the day in question.

“We want parents and guardians to be aware of this incident and the suspect’s description, so they can take safety precautions and have conversations with children about it, as they deem appropriate,” Maidstone RCMP Sgt. Jolyne Harrison said in a news release.

Police are asking for any home security footage that captures the roadway around the arena.
