The RNC has secured two properties in the capital city’s east end as part of its ongoing investigation of two men charged with sexually assaulting young people dating back to the 1990s.
Eighty-year-old Bruce Escott and 62-year-old Tony Humby are each facing charges of sexual assault in connection with the investigation.
Police are maintaining the two scenes near Hussey Drive as investigators examine the properties. Residents can expect a police presence in the area over the coming weeks.
Anyone with information related to sexual assault and the exploitation of young people should contact the RNC or Crime Stoppers.
