  • Surrey female assaulted in her sleep

Surrey R-C-M-P say they are looking for a male suspect after he allegedly got into the residence of a woman and groped the victim in her sleep.

Police say officers responded to the call on Saturday morning in the 141-hundred block of 91 Avenue.

They say the victim reported she was woken up by a man groping her in her residence, and the suspect fled when she screamed for help.
