The Winnipeg Police Service is working to identify a suspect in four similar sexual assaults that occurred on the evening of July 2.

Several reports were received about women who had been assaulted by an unknown male near the Health Science Campus.

At approximately 7 p.m., a teenage girl was walking in the area of Elgin/Sherbrook and was confronted by an unknown male who assaulted her. She reported to an adult and was transported to safety.

The Winnipeg Police Service is requesting the public’s assistance in locating a 60-70-year-old Individual.

The missing adult was last seen near Mulvey Avenue and Stafford Avenue at 6 a.m. on Thursday, July 3. 

They are described as 5’9” in height, slim build, grey hair and wearing a black Polo t-shirt with a design in the front, blue jeans, Birkenstock sandals and using a walker with a shopping bag in it.

A third person has died following a highway crash that killed the bassist for a well-known Winnipeg band.

Mounties responded to the crash Tuesday afternoon north of Swan River in western Manitoba.

They say a vehicle travelling south had crossed the centre line and hit a vehicle facing north that was parked on the edge of the road.

A 42-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman in the parked vehicle were transported to hospital, where they died.

A motorcycle collision has left a 29-year-old dead.

Shortly after 7 p.m. on July 2, a motorcycle travelling southbound on Pembina Highway collided with an SUV exiting a parking lot in the 1300 block on the west side of Pembina.

The 29-year-old motorcycle driver was taken to the hospital in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries. The SUV driver did remain on the scene and met with police. 

Southbound Pembina was closed for several hours following the collision and Traffic Collision Investigators are continuing this investigation.

Airports were returning to normal operations Thursday after Canada's air traffic control service said some received bomb threats early in the morning.

Six Americans were detained after attempting to send bottles filled with Bibles, USBs, money, and rice by sea to North Korea.

Though well-meaning, their actions violated South Korean ordinances banning balloon and sea-based launches to the North, ordinances aimed at reducing tensions. These types of efforts have long been common, but the group appears to have acted without consulting local organizations experienced in such work.
