Police look for suspect, vehicle in west Windsor sexual assault

Windsor police are asking the public for help finding a man and a vehicle they believe are connected to a sexual attack on Tuesday.

Investigators say it happened around 10:15 p.m. on Bridge Avenue when a vehicle approached a young female out walking. The female entered the car, according to police.

"The suspect vehicle travelled north on Bridge Avenue, west on University Avenue West, and circled the area bordered by University Avenue West, Rankin Avenue, Wyandotte Street West, and Randolph Avenue," said Constable Bianca Jackson. "At 10:20 p.m., the suspect vehicle parked in a parking lot located at the corner of Rankin Avenue and University Avenue West. At 10:30 p.m., the vehicle left the area travelling south on Bridge toward Wyandotte Street."

Police are looking for a Middle Eastern male, 20 to 30-years-old, with straight black hair slicked back. He also had a thin beard, stood 5' 5" or 5' 6" tall and spoke with an Arabic accent.

The suspect vehicle, pictured above, is described as a 2015 to 2020 grey or silver Honda sedan equipped with a moonroof.

Investigators ask anyone living or with a business in the areas of Bridge Avenue, University Avenue West, Wyandotte Street West, and Randolph Avenue to check any surveillance camera footage and notify police if they see the vehicle in question or anything unusual.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Windsor police's Major Crime Unit at (519) 255-6700, ext. 4830. Anonymous tips may be submitted to Crime Stoppers at (519) 258-TIPS (8477).
