The members of the Prince Rupert Detachment of the RCMP are looking for some help from the public as they look to identify and locate a male involved in concerning exchanges with women along Summit Avenue.
From their information release of this afternoon the Mounties outline some details to their investigation
On three separate occasions since February 2024, adult women that were walking alone in the 1300 block area of Summit Avenue, all reported similar experiences. While walking, they were all engaged in unsolicited and persistent conversation by a person described as:
Male;
Darker complexion, possibly South Asian;
Late 20’s to late 30’s;
Muscular / heavy build.
The man is apparently insistent on becoming friends but in each case made the women feel uncomfortable. In one instance he allegedly approached the woman and grabbed her arm briefly.

“Everyone deserves to feel safe while walking in Prince Rupert. Even though these women were physically unharmed this individual’s actions are concerning and we are looking to speak with them. We are urging anyone that has had a similar experience to come forward and speak to police in order that he can be identified.” -- Staff Sergeant Dave Uppal
