March 16 2022
''Police have arrested a 32-year-old man in connection with two violent sexual assault cold cases dating back to 2013 in Richmond Hill and Mississauga.
On Sept. 27, 2013, a 47-year-old woman exited a Mississauga transit bus in the area of South Service Road and Crestview Avenue, at around 12 a.m.
A male suspect then approached her and grabbed her in a “blitz-style attack,” police said.''

“The offender concealed his identity with a face covering. He then aggressively pulled her towards a bushy area, while indicating he had a weapon,” Peel Regional Police Det. Sgt. Mustafa Durgun said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The suspect violently sexually assaulted her and threatened to kill her and her family if she reported the incident to the police, Durgun said.
Fourteen months later, Peel police learned about a forensic link to another sexual assault case in Richmond Hill.
On Nov. 13, 2014, a 17-year-old female exited a transit bus at Yonge Street and Canyon Hill Avenue in Richmond Hill.
She was then approached by a suspect wearing a ski mask and armed with a knife, police said.
“The offender demanded money from the victim and violently assaulted her. He dragged her approximately 50 metres into a field with tall grass. Once in that field, he tied the victim up and viciously sexually assaulted her,” York Regional Police Insp. Simon James said.
The suspect threatened the victim and said he would kill her if she went to the police.
After linking both of the sexual assault cases, the police forces collaborated and formed the Blue Light Task Force.''
