The West Shore RCMP Bike Unit will continue their patrols of the West Shore trail systems and work in collaboration with the West Shore RCMP Special Victims Unit to investigate any reports of a similar nature.
We are very fortunate here on the West Shore to have such an extensive trail system used by so many residents everyday. Although these incidents are rare, they are unacceptable and will be fully investigated by the police. We are asking residents to call West Shore RCMP to report any suspicious occurrence as soon as possible so efforts can be made to identify the individual involved, said Cpl. Chris Joy, who is in charge of the West Shore RCMP Bike Unit.
