Vancouver police have released a surveillance photo in the hope that it will help to identify a person of interest in connection with sexual assaults that were allegedly carried out by a masked man in October and November.

A photo released on Friday shows an individual that police consider a person of interest, but they haven’t been able to figure out who he is.
