Police want to speak to man photographing children By Ali Raza 9 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, June 9, 2016 aliraza@yrmg.com Watch your children, and your neighbourhood, Stouffville. York Regional Police are investigating a suspicious person incident that occurred in the area of Weldon Road and Main Street on Monday around 6:30 p.m. A resident reported to police that a white man, 5-foot-10, age 20 to 30, with a medium build, glasses, short spiky hair, wearing black shorts, a T-shirt and running shoes, holding a maroon camera bag was taking pictures of her children playing in the driveway. The resident also posted information of the incident on Facebook. "I was in the garage getting my bike out when my seven-year-old daughter came in to tell me there was a strange man that had just come up to them and without a word started taking pictures of her and my two sons," the woman posted on Facebook. She and her husband pursued the man but were unsuccessful. The incident happened in 30 to 40 seconds according to her post. "I am sick thinking that some weirdo is out there with pictures of my kids," she wrote. "Please keep an eye out so this doesn't happen to your kids."
