Richmond RCMP seek witnesses in assault investigation

Richmond RCMP are seeking the public’s help to identify a suspect in an assault reported in northeast Richmond earlier this summer.

At about 7:30 p.m. on June 28, 2026, a woman was walking on Greenland Drive near No. 5 Road when an unknown man on a bicycle approached her, police said. The woman was assaulted during the interaction, and the suspect fled the area.

The suspect is believed to be about 30 to 40 years old. Investigators are asking anyone who was near Greenland Drive and No. 5 Road between 7:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. that day, and who witnessed the incident or saw a cyclist matching the description, to contact police. Officers are also seeking dash-camera, residential security-camera and other footage from the area.

Corporal Melissa Lui, Richmond RCMP’s media relations officer, said even seemingly minor information could help advance the investigation. Anyone with information can call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2026-20373.
