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.
CHEX News reached out to Coulter for comment but she said the family is currently declining any further comment.
