From RCIPS Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 4:18 PM

We are requesting public assistance in our investigation into the indecent assaults on South Church Street reported last week.

We understand that a man was driving a dark blue or green SUV along South Church Street at about 7:30AM last Saturday morning, 30 January, at the time of the second attack, and saw the assailant. This man may have information relevant to the investigation, and we are asking him to call George Town CID to speak to detectives.

There also may be other victims who have experienced an attack similar to the indecent assaults that occurred last week and not reported it to police. We urge these women to come forward and share this information, which could be critical to the apprehension of the individual responsible.

Please contact George Town CID at 949-4222 or 324-0684 (mobile) if you have any further information about these assaults or have seen a man answering to the description of the assailant in the South Sound area (first press release below).
