Police have arrested a 50-year-old Sackville man in relation to someone being caught masturbating in a car in Halifax last week.

Halifax Regional Police say just before 2 p.m. last Wednesday, there was a report of an indecent act taking place in the area of Queen and Kent streets.

Witnesses told police a man in a beige Toyota Corolla could be seen masturbating.

A short time later, police stopped a vehicle matching the description, spoke to the driver but there wasn’t enough information to lay charges.

Police say after a complete investigation the man was arrested last Friday and charged.

He is scheduled to appear in court on March 5 to face a charge of committing an indecent act.
