70-Year-Old Woman Beaten, Sexually Assaulted In Daytime Robbery In Her South Surrey Home

The Canadian Press, 13 Aug, 2015 11:03 AM
    SURREY, B.C. — A 70-year-old Surrey, B.C., woman is recovering from a terrifying ordeal in her own home.
     
    RCMP Staff Sgt. Dale Carr says the victim was in her South Surrey home early Wednesday afternoon when a man carrying a weapon burst in, restrained her and demanded cash and other items.
     
    Carr says when the senior could not comply, she was physically and sexually assaulted before the 20- to 30-year-old suspect fled.
     
     
    The woman was able to free herself and walk to a neighbour's home to call police.
     
    She suffered significant injuries and was treated in hospital but has now been released and Carr is urging area residents to use extreme caution and report anything suspicious while police search for the suspect.
     
    Officers have canvassed the neighbourhood asking for any surveillance video but have made no arrests.
