A 31-year-old man from Vancouver was arrested but police are looking for the family to come forward.

“The family left before police arrived, so they were never identified,” Visintin added. “We are asking them to call police so we can advance the investigation.”

Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 604-717-4022.
