Warning to Sex Trade Workers
Vancouver - The Vancouver Police Department is issuing a warning to sex trade workers who work along the Kingsway corridor of Vancouver and Burnaby .
In the last week we have had four complaints from sex trade workers of a male who is luring the workers into his car after negotiating a deal for sex. Once in the car the suspect usually drives the worker to a remote area, pulls a weapon, sexually assaults them then robs them of their money, cell phone or whatever valuables they may have on them. In the most recent case a worker was struck over the head with a blunt instrument and required stitches to close her wounds.
This suspect is extremely violent and is operating what is believed to be a late model, smaller Dodge product, blue in colour. The suspect is described as a non-white male, 24 years of age, 5’7” tall with a slim build. The suspect is believed to have a shaved head, clean shaven and may at times speak with an accent.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Department Sexual Offence Squad at 604-717-2648.
