Smithers RCMP are looking for more information about an indecent act at a local hotel on Sunday.
Police said at about 8:20 that evening, officers were called after a man entered the building with his face covered by a surgical mask and exposed himself to an employee.
Mounties add an employee was able to provide a detailed description, helping to advance the case.
The RCMP also obtained security footage from the business, and said it showed the man appear to move in a way to limit his visibility to cameras.
“This investigation moved quickly because of the detailed information provided by the employee and the persistence of the responding officer, who continued looking for the accused until he was found,” said Acting Sergeant Jim Preston.
A man matching that of the one from the hotel was arrested in downtown Smithers, and charged with indecent act, disguise with intent, and two counts of breach of probation.
Police learned the man was bound by probation conditions for similar offences outside B.C.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Smithers detachment.
