Mounties are asking drivers who were in the area of Central Boulevard and Bonsor Avenue between 10:15 and 11:15 a.m. on Thursday and have dash cams to communicate with investigators. In a news release Saturday, Burnaby RCMP said investigators spoke with witnesses who remember a vehicle nearly hitting a man and then honking at him as he crossed Central Boulevard near the Bonsor Recreation Complex. “It appears the male left the area heading north on Bonsor Avenue toward Bennett Street,” police said in their release. Authorities believe the man who was allegedly exposed at Maywood Community School around 11 a.m. Thursday is the same man who was nearly hit by the vehicle. Police released two photos of a “person of interest” in the case on Friday. They did not describe the man in the photos as a suspect, although the investigation is ongoing. At Saturday’s briefing, Cpl. Mike Kalanj said the dashcam video of his near miss “may have the information (police) are looking for.” Anyone with relevant video from the area and time in question is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 and reference file number 22-37848.
