The North Bay Police Service (NBPS) is advising the public that unknown men are following women during the evening and early morning hours.

Police have been informed about three instances that each occurred in a similar fashion:

  • A woman is walking alone either at night or in the early morning;
  • She observes an unknown man approaching her from the direction she is headed;
  • When she is close to the man, he changes direction and begins following her.

The incidents were described as taking place at or near:

  • Trout Lake Road and Fisher St., at approximately 5 AM
  •  Percy Street and Cassells St. at approximately 6:30 PM
  •  High Street at night

In two of these incidents, descriptions of the male individuals were supplied. They are described as:
