SUMMERSIDE POLICE SERVICES INVESTIGATING INDECENT ACTS 📂 2025-1818152, 2026-1212475 Summerside Police Services are investigating two separate incidents of indecent acts. On August 20, 2026, police received a report that a 17-year-old female was walking through the County Fair Mall parking lot just before 8:00 AM the same day, when a male parked in a vehicle called her over to his vehicle and asked for directions. When the victim approached the man’s car, he had his genitals exposed and asked the victim to perform a sexual act. The victim refused, left the area and reported the incident to police. Details of this investigation are similar to an incident that had been reported on December 11, 2025. During that incident, a female victim had parked her car in the Walmart parking lot when a vehicle parked next to her. The man driving the vehicle spoke to the victim from inside his vehicle and when the victim turned her attention toward the man, his genitals were exposed and he was masturbating. As the investigations progressed, police were able to identify a suspect from the December 2025 incident and arrested a 32-year-old Summerside area man who will appear in court at a later date to answer to one count of committing an indecent act. The August 2026 incident remains under investigation. Police are asking anyone with any information in relation to these incidents, or who may have experienced a similar incident, to contact Summerside Police Services at 902-432-1201 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). #SummersidePolice
