Prince George RCMP are currently looking for a suspect in a second "stranger sex-assault" in less than a month.
At about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday police were received a report of a female walking in the area of Monterey Road West and the Hart Highway when a man approached her and asked for some information.
He then went around behind her and groped her, then left on foot, police were told.
“The investigation to date does not indicate this is connected to the stranger sex-assault from March. Stranger-on-stranger assaults are typically rare, so it is concerning to us that we have had two in the span of a month. Police would like to identify this suspect in order to safeguard the public and further the investigation,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, media spokesperson from the Prince George RCMP.
“We are asking everyone to be extra vigilant when they are in situations by themselves, and to trust their instincts if a situation does not feel right.”
Police say the investigation is ongoing and are seeking any video surveillance or dashcam footage from this area of town between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. on April 26 which shows anyone matching the suspect’s description.
