“A struggle occurred in which she was assaulted before breaking free and driving away,” Const. Crystal Evelyn said in a press release. The woman was able to provide a description of one of two men at the scene who left in an older-model Chrysler K-Car which was black, tan or gold in colour, and had a flat back window.
The suspect was described as being in his 20s, six-feet tall, possibly Aboriginal, skinny with pock-marked skin and no facial hair. He was wearing a black baseball hat with a flat black brim, white front, two or three diagonal stripes, and a red emblem.
No description was available of the other man.
