PRINCE GEORGE — Local Mounties are seeking the public’s help in locating a suspect in an assault that occurred yesterday (Nov.17) morning.

RCMP say it occurred at around 11 a.m. on the 1700 block of 4th Avenue. Police say the victim was a 17-year-old girl.

The suspect is described as a larger built white male, possibly around six feet tall, wearing a black sweater and runners. The victim told police the suspect might have a beard. At the time of the assault, she was wearing a red jacket and carrying a green backpack.

“Investigators do not believe the suspect is known by the victim. We are looking for anyone who was driving in that area between 10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. that either witnessed the assault or else has dash cam footage from that time period to contact the detachment to speak with police,” says Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.

If you have any information call police at (250)561-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1(800)222-8477.
