Mounties in Coquitlam say they’re looking for a man accused of committing a string of sexual assaults in the city over the past few days.
The Coquitlam RCMP says it received seven reports that “an unknown male inappropriately touched the buttocks of women as they were walking.”
Five of the incidents happened in the Burquitlam area on Wednesday and Thursday between 3:30 and 8 p.m., and two more were reported in Glen Park at 1158 Pipeline Road on Friday, according to police.
