Detective Senior Constable Caroline Blackley said a male dressed in a black top and black pants - possibly tracksuit pants - was seen acting suspiciously between 10.15 and 10.45am.
The unspecified incident happened on High Street - also known as the Western Highway - between King and Albert streets.
"It's a pretty busy road at that time of day, so someone would have seen something," she said.
