Police are seeking information about a suspect in the sexual assault of a gas station attendant earlier this month.

Langley RCMP have released a sketch of a suspect wanted for a sexual assault against a gas station employee.

Around 8 p.m., the suspect walked into the gas station in the 19800 block of Fraser Highway on Aug. 9.  The victim said he appeared to be intoxicated and came up behind the employee as she ate her dinner.

He touched her inappropriately, which qualifies as a sexual assault, said police. She was able to push him away and he fled on foot.

Police Dog Services was unable to assist due to time delay in reporting the event to police.

The male is described as South Asian, in his mid-20s, with brown hair (similar to Elvis’ style), brown eyes and a goatee, approximately 5’6” tall, 155 lbs., wearing jeans and a dark blue shirt with stripes.  He was carrying a black backpack.

Anyone with information is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
