Abbotsford Police Major Crime Detectives are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a man believed to be responsible for a sexual assault which occurred in mid-August in West Abbotsford.

The assault took place in the 32700 block of Chilcotin Drive on August 14th at 2:26 pm. A male, dressed to blend in with maintenance workers in the area, sexually assaulted an adult woman as she was watering her plants.
