On Wednesday, just before noon, the Delta Police was dispatched to the area of Hwy 17 and Ladner Trunk Road for a report of a distraught person.

Upon arrival, officers learned that a 21-year-old woman had been assaulted, robbed of her money, and forcibly confined in a U-Haul van. She had escaped from the vehicle near Hwy 17 and Ladner Trunk Road. Officers also learned that another woman was forcibly confined in the van.
