Vancouver police are looking for witnesses and dash-cam video, after a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted in East Vancouver.
It happened around 5 p.m. on Nov. 27, in a park just off Victoria Drive, according to police.
Investigators said the girl had exited a bus on Kingsway, and was walking north on Miller Street when she was grabbed from behind and pulled into the bushes in Brewers Park, about a block west of Victoria Drive.
“We’re talking about a 14-year-old girl who did absolutely nothing wrong,” VPD Const. Jason Doucette said.
“She was walking through a residential neigbhourhood, minding her own business.”
The suspect sexually assaulted her, then fled east through the park.
Police are looking for a Caucasian man in his late 20s. He is described as being five-foot-seven to five-foot-10 with a medium build and weighs between 160 to 200 pounds. He has dark brown eyes, an oval-shaped face, and short, brown, wavy hair that is cut short on the sides. The suspect was wearing a black rain jacket, dark blue jeans and black boots.
On Dec. 3, Vancouver police released a composite sketch of the suspect.
Investigators are also looking for dash-cam video from anyone driving in the area between 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Nov. 27.
Police are specifically interested in footage shot on Kingsway along the south, E. 22nd Avenue at the north, Welwyn Street to the west, and Victoria Drive at the east.
