North Vancouver RCMP have issued a public warning, after a girl was sexually assaulted on a popular trail this month.
Mounties say the assault happened in the Seymour Heights neighbourhood around 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, but wasn’t reported to police until Thursday.
According to police, the girl was walking on a trail near a bridge in Trillium Park near Seymour Heights Elementary School when a man groped her.
She managed to fight the man off and flee, police said.
Police are looking for a five-foot-eight Caucasian man in his 40s with greying hair, brown eyes and a slim build.
He was wearing blue jeans, a black baseball cap, a dark blue track jacket and a blue face mask, and was walking with a small white dog that was off-leash.
Anyone with information is asked to contact North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311.
