It is the second incident of a suspicious person reported to the RCMP within a few days.

The man is described as possibly in his 40s, five-foot-eight to six feet tall, Caucasian with short brown hair, wearing jeans, T-shirt and runners.
The student said she was able to get away from the man and ran home, where a parent contacted police. That incident remains under investigation.
Cranbrook RCMP are asking parents to accompany their children to school or have their children walk with a group if possible.
