Cops in New West are searching for witnesses following two sexual offences in Queensborough Thursday night.
In the first incident, a man pulled down a woman’s pants at a bus stop on Howes Street near Ewen Avenue. This was at about 5:30 p.m. About 30 minutes later, at 6 p.m., another woman, sitting in her car in the same area of Howes Street, was approached by a man who pulled down his own pants and exposed himself, according to a press release from police.
Both women called police shortly after the incidents, and investigators believe the same man is responsible. He is described as a stocky white man in his mid to late 20s with a goatee and dirty blonde hair. He stands about five-feet-eight-inches tall. The victim in the first incident said he was wearing a black baseball hat with a white soccer jersey and jeans. The second victim said the suspect was wearing a red hoodie.
The department’s major crime unit is looking for any witnesses or video surveillance footage that could help identify the suspect. Police are also increasing uniformed patrols in the area.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 604-525-5411.
