Whistler RCMP is investigating an incident from earlier this month when a women walking her dog in Cheakamus Crossing was allegedly bear-sprayed by another woman.
Just after noon on July 14, police arrived on the scene in the 1000 block of Legacy Way. In a release, authorities said the woman walked past the suspect, who was sitting at a picnic table, before the suspect chased after her and sprayed her and her dog. Police did not indicate a possible motive.
Investigators have since identified the suspect through CCTV footage and are still trying to locate her.
“This appears to be an isolated event and the suspect is not from the Whistler area,” police said in the release, before adding that the incident remains under investigation.
