A man who drew suspicion after reports last week that he had been seen at least twice around trails near View Royal Elementary School, once without a shirt, has been cleared of doing anything wrong. 

There had been no indication the man had approached anyone, but West Shore RCMP went public with the reports and released a photo because of previous cases of indecent and criminal acts in the same part of the West Shore trail system. 

The man came forward after seeing news about the sightings.
