West Shore RCMP has identified a suspect in a sexual assault investigation.

A female victim reported to RCMP that she was sexually assaulted Sept. 17 after agreeing to meet with a male not known to her.

On Oct. 20, RCMP published a set of images in hopes of identifying a suspect in the assault. As a result of that media release, police received a number of tips from the public and were able to identify a suspect.

RCMP say the investigation is processing and no further details are available.
