“Our officers arrived shortly after receiving the 9-1-1 calls, but the suspects had already fled,” says Constable Jason Doucette, VPD. “Unfortunately, the victim is not cooperating with our investigators. Based on the information collected so far, this is likely a targeted attack and we do not believe the general public are at risk.”
Anyone who may have witnessed this assault, or has information about the incident, is asked to contact the VPD at 604-717-3321 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
