Morden RCMP are warning the public about a suspicious man who tried to get into a home near Winkler by posing as a carpet cleaner.

Police said a man came to a residence just north of the city on Monday.  He claimed to be a carpet cleaner but did not produce any identification and left quickly when he saw another male in the home.

RCMP describe the suspect as a white man in his 40s, with a stocky build and short balding light brown hair, 5'8" in height and wearing glasses.

They are asking anyone with any information about this man, or who has been approached in a similar way, to contact their local RCMP immediately.
