Maidstone RCMP is currently looking for details about a suspicious man following a report they received this week.

According to an RCMP release, the man approached and talked to a child at Sandy Beach Regional Park about 16 kilometres north of Lloydminster.

As per a release, the man is described as a Caucasian with short brown hair, almost 6 feet tall, and weighing around 180 to 200 pounds. He wore navy-coloured sneakers with blue shorts, a grey T-shirt, sunglasses, and a hat. RCMP said he was also carrying a beach mat.
