The incidents, which took place between Sunday, April 2, 2023, and Sunday, April 30, 2023, involve a male committing various crimes, including assaults and, most recently, sexual assaults. To date, all of the incidents have targeted females, and all have taken place in the Cumberland neighbourhood between the hours of 6 a.m. and 9 a.m.
Given the similar descriptions provided, investigators believe the same male is responsible for all seven incidents and, as his behavior has escalated, are issuing a warning to residents in the area. Likewise, detectives are asking anyone who has encountered or been victimized by the described male to contact police immediately.
The suspect is described as a 25-30-year-old white male with a thin build and a buzz cut. He was reportedly wearing dark pants and a hoodie, most often with the hood up. A map of the neighbourhood is included below.
