RCMP say they are making “significant progress” in their investigation of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in Cranberry Portage earlier this week.
Police received a report of a sexual assault said to have occurred overnight between Sunday, March 6 and Monday, March 7.
RCMP spokesman Sgt. Bert Paquet said initial investigation established a possible location: a residence under renovation in the small community.
Officers attended the residence and found physical evidence of a break-and-enter and a possible sexual assault, he said, adding that the break-and-enter had earlier been reported to police.
“The investigation is ongoing and showing significant progress,” Paquet said.
He said no arrests had been made as of late Wednesday morning, adding that he would keep The Reminder updated on any new developments.
RCMP provided no further details other than to say their forensic-identification and major crimes units are assisting in the investigation.
