Burnaby RCMP does have a message it wants everyone at BCIT to hear. “We believe that there are potentially more victims…it’s important for us to appeal to the public that if somebody believes that they may have been filmed in such a way that they come forward,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar said.

Anyone who has more information or who may have been victimized can contact Burnaby RCMP Cst. Clint Paisley at 604-656-3245.
