RCMP Staff Sgt. Jeremie Landry said other incidents occurred in a common area of the Western Budget Motel, at the Cold Lake Business Centre, and at a second-hand clothing store.

RCMP previously released a photo of a suspect in a dollar store. Landry said public tips were a significant help to police investigating the incident and led to reports of other incidents. He said the investigation is continuing. Additional charges are possible.

Landry said police don’t believe any children witnessed the incidents.
