RCMP say the third case happened on the evening of Sept. 23, when a woman running on Chesterfield Ave. was groped from behind by a six-foot-tall South Asian man believed to be in his 30s, with short hair and an 鈥渁thletic build,鈥 dressed in a dark sleeveless shirt, shorts and wearing headphones.
Cst. Mansoor Sahak with the North Vancouver RCMP says the incidents are similar, but investigators believe there may be three suspects and anyone with information is asked to contact police.
