Langley sex assaults believed linked Man wearing swimming goggles assaults woman walking near Douglas Park, two months after 16-year-old attacked at bus stop DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The man who sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman last Tuesday (Aug. 20), around 8 p.m. in Langley City may also be responsible for a June attack, RCMP said Saturday (Aug. 24). The woman was walking near Douglas Park in the 20600 block of 51B Avenue when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground, and sexually assaulted. The man, who was wearing swimming goggles, threatened her with a knife and told her
GIA CERTIFIED
not to scream. He then took her purse and iPod before fleeing on a bicycle. Police called in the fire department to light up the crime scene. Based on the victim’s description, police believe the same man may be responsible for attacking a 16-year-old girl on June 22. In that incident, the victim was waiting for a bus at the intersection of 42 Avenue and 204 Street when the suspect pulled up in a vehicle beside her and ordered her to get in. He threatened her with a knife, drove her to a church parking lot in the 21200 block of 56 Avenue
and sexually assaulted her. He then drove her to the Langley bus loop at Logan and Glover and released her without further incident. He was driving a small, newer model, silver hatchback. Langley RCMP is asking the public to study the two composite sketches created and if you are able to identify the suspect or provide information that would assist with either of these investigations please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477) or online at www. solvecrime.ca.
