Police in London, Ont., are warning the public after a local man charged for criminal harassment for allegedly following six young women in four separate cases has been released on bail.
Police issued the warning after the accused, Saranjeet Singh, 22, from London was released from custody Friday after appearing in court.
According to court documents obtained by Global News, Singh was released on a promise to pay $2,000 and an agreement that his identity be released.
He is also required to be at his home between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. daily except for medical emergencies, for the purposes of driving for work, or when he is with either his mother and or father.
Singh is also required not to contact by any means nine people named in court documents or be within 100 metres of any of the people named including where they work, live, or go to school.
Under conditions of his release, Singh is also not allowed to go within a border of Fanshawe Park Road to the North, Adelaide Street North to the East, Queens Avenue and Riverside Drive to the South, and Wonderland Road to the West. The border surrounds Western University.
Singh is described as having a dark complexion, five-foot-eight in height, weighing 150 pounds, with brown eyes, short black hair, and a full black beard.
The accused was operating a four-door black Honda Civic at the time of each incident.
In one of the alleged incident, a 21-year-old woman reported a black Honda Civic followed her at a slow pace on Patrica Street near Western University.
After the woman entered a home on the street, police say the man then parked at the house’s driveway and proceeded to repeatedly knock on the door.
When the woman did not answer police say the man went back to his car and sat outside the home.
Police arrived on the scene and were able to arrest the suspect without incident.
This came after three separate incidents where a man allegedly followed five other women, on or near Western University’s campus between Oct. 18 to Oct. 19 using the same vehicle.
Singh is facing charges for criminal harassment in all cases. His case returns to court on Jan. 13
If seen, police say the public is advised to not approach or engage with the accused and to call 9-1-1 if there are any concerns for safety.
Anyone with further information is asked to contact the police or Crime Stoppers.
