Mission – RCMP are alerting the public about two recent apparent attempted abductions, and asking the public for any related information.
Sometime between 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 14, and 1:00 a.m. on Monday, December 15, a woman was walking along Logan Avenue in Mission, when a white SUV pulled up to her. The South Asian male driver asked the woman to perform a sexual act, to which the woman refused and walked away. The driver then exited the vehicle and allegedly assaulted the woman, trying to pull her toward his vehicle. When she ran away, he followed in his vehicle and apparently bear sprayed her. Fortunately, she was able to get away, and did not sustain serious physical injuries.
Then around 6:30 p.m. on Monday December 15, 2025, another woman asked a bystander for help on 3rd Avenue between Murray Street and Horne Street. She told the bystander that a South Asian man in a white SUV had asked her to perform a sexual act, then attempted to drag her toward his vehicle. She also managed to get away without serious injury. The woman left before speaking with police, and officers have not yet been able to reach her for additional details.
Both women were from a vulnerable sector of the community and it’s currently unknown if they were targeted as a result of these circumstances.
Mission RCMP are asking the public to be on the lookout for a white SUV, driven by a South Asian male, described as:
- 6 ft (182 cm)
- Beard
- Short hair
- Tattoos on his arms
Police note that there is no information at this time to confirm whether the suspect is from Mission, and it’s possible that he may be from another community, or have targeted someone in another community.
Social service providers who interact with vulnerable populations are asked to ensure their clients are aware of these incidents, and to encourage anyone who has had similar encounters to immediately report it to their local police. If you have any information that could assist with this investigation, call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161, file 25-15879.
