Jeff Webster with the sexual assault and child abuse unit. The police responded to a report of a man masturbating in a men’s change room at the leisure centre just after 3 p.m. on Jan. 3. According to people inside the leisure centre at the time, staff called the police while locking down the building, but the suspect was able to escape using an emergency exit, triggering a loud alarm. Police apprehended the man as he fled the building. No one was injured, said a police news release. Webster said he could not discuss the details of the arrest as the case is before the court, but said indecent acts in highvisibility areas like pools are not common.
