Voros is urging people to take precautions against intruders.
“Alarms work really well. You can set an alarm when you are sleeping so if windows or doors are cracked open the alarm will go off and wake you up in the middle of the night.
“Those things will help keep you safe.”
The suspect in the Braeside case is described as 5’8” tall with a medium build. At the time of the assault, he was wearing a dark-coloured hoodie and the victim said he smelled strongly of cigarette smoke.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call police at 403-266-1234, or Crime Stoppers.
