Officers have responded to each reported incident, but the man has been able to evade police.

"Although incidents like this are rare, Barrie police is advising people who use this popular waterfront trail to be aware of their surroundings at all times and should they happen to encounter this male, to call police immediately," police stated in a news release on Tuesday.

Police are asking anyone with information or who may have been approached by the individual and have not yet reported it to investigators to contact Constable Kaylee Elsey: kelsey@barriepolice.ca.
