Richmond Police Investigating Alleged Sex Assault Of Young Woman

Darpan News Desk , 13 Oct, 2016 11:21 AM
    Richmond RCMP is investigating the alleged sexual assault of a young female that occurred during the early evening hours of October 7, 2016.
     
    A lone 18-year old female was walking northbound on Ash Street towards General Currie Road. As she approached the Paulik Park Community Garden around 7:30 pm, she was allegedly approached from behind by an unknown assailant. He pushed her to the ground and then forcibly sexually assaulted her. The female managed to fight off her attacker and eventually escaped.
     
    The suspect is described as a male, 5' 10 to 5' 11 (178 - 180 cm) tall, wearing darks pants, dark dress shoes, and a dark puffy jacket.
     
    We have a team of seasoned investigators working on this case. We are still active in the area, conducting comprehensive neighbourhood canvassing and analyzing video surveillance footage, says Corporal Dennis Hwang.
     
    Our Victim Services Unit has been instrumental in this very delicate time. We are asking anyone with information on this case to please contact us.
     
    Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the General Investigation Section of the Richmond RCMP at (604) 278-1212, by email at Richmond_Tips@rcmp-grc.gc.ca or anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
