Bay St. George RCMP is looking to identify a vehicle and driver involved in an incident reported in Stephenville on earlier this month. 

At approximately 10:05 a.m. on April 2, 2026, police received a report of a suspicious occurrence on Gallant Street in Stephenville. The caller observed the driver of a vehicle having a verbal interaction with two youths.

The caller reported that the unknown male individual departed in a white sport utility vehicle (SUV), possibly a Ford, headed down Gallant Street towards West Street. He was described as older, possibly in his 60s, with little to no hair.
