Bancroft OPP are searching for a suspect after a woman says she was attacked while exiting her vehicle on Monday morning.
Police say they were called to Hastings Street South in Bancroft for reports of a robbery, where they found an 18-year-old woman who said she was attacked by an unknown suspect.
On Facebook, Jordan Coulter says her sister, Ryan, was attacked around 7 a.m. outside Riverstone Residence, a retirement residence. Coulter said it was the third time the man has arrived at the site and approached her sister.
Monday’s assault was the second such incident, she noted.
