Calgary police are looking for a man after he allegedly groped a woman several times at a Real Canadian Superstore on Tuesday.

Police said around 10:50 p.m., at the Real Canadian Superstore on 3575 20 Avenue N.E., the victim was reaching for a shopping basket when a man walked by and touched her buttocks.

“The victim did not challenge the suspect as she thought it may have been accidental,” police said in a news release Thursday.
