Peel police have released surveillance video of a suspect running away from a Brampton home at 3:26 a.m. Sunday after a young girl under 16 was sexually assaulted.

Special Victims Unit investigators say the girl was inside her home – in the area of Massey Street and Mallard Crescent – in the early morning hours Sunday (Sept. 2) when a man broke in, confronted her, and sexually assaulted her.

The suspect is described by police as a bald Black male with a small moustache and goatee, about 30, average height and medium build. He was last seen wearing a black zip-up sweater and jeans.

Police are hoping the video will help identify the suspect and ask anyone with with information to call the Special Victim’s Unit at 905-453-3311 , ext. 3460, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
