RCMP Report: Sexual assault arrest, search for suspects with bats

Police also dealt with a 911 call of a robbery on the 900 block of 105^th Street shortly before midnight on July 16. A 10-year-old victim was reportedly in the alley with his siblings when he was approached by two suspects, both reported to be carrying bats. He was threatened to turn over his cell phone by the suspects, one of whom raised the bat and struck the victim in the leg.

“We’re hoping that the clothing descriptors and having carried bats, that it might trigger someone’s memory,” Tremblay said.

While the pre-teen was not injured, the suspects then fled with the victim’s phone. One of the two suspects wore a white t-shirt with black pants, while the second male was wearing all dark clothing.
