The Burns Lake RCMP are looking to the public for help in identifying a suspect in a disturbing assault involving a young teen at the Lake View Mall.
The incident took place on Friday, July 11, 2025. A 14-year-old girl told police that an unknown man grabbed her by the neck and attempted to grab her waist before walking away without further contact. She was not physically injured, but the case remains a serious concern for investigators.
The suspect is described as a male, approximately 50 to 55 years old, with grey hair and a brown beard. He was wearing dark clothing and reportedly smelled of alcohol at the time of the incident.
A forensic sketch of the man has been released to the public, and the RCMP are hopeful that someone may recognize the suspect and come forward.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact the Burns Lake RCMP detachment at 250-692-7171.
The investigation remains active.
