3 sex assaults, 1 month

Surrey RCMP say three sexual assaults that occurred within the span of a month in Newton may be related.

Between April 24 and May 21, police received reports of three alleged groping incidents, which occurred in the Newton area. 

The first occurred on April 24 near 84th Avenue and King George Boulevard about 1 a.m. When the woman screamed, the assailant fled.

On May 20, a woman was groped as she walked near 144th Street and 76th Avenue about 5:15 a.m.

The third assault occurred the next day, as a woman walked on East 72nd Avenue near 134th Street shortly before 5 a.m.

Police believe all three files are linked, due to their proximity and the identification of a suspect vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or CrimeStoppers.
