‘Grabber’
suspect
faces

six
N. Shore
charges

By CHRIS LLOYD

Only two of the six attacks
on women in West Van-
couver have been listed in
charges against a man
arrested last week, even
though police believe all
were carried out by just one
man, who became dubbed as
the Grabber.

However, in North
Vancouver, RCMP have laid
charges against the man for
all four attacks carried out
last year on women within
the municipality, in the
parking lot area of Capilano
Mall.

West Van Police have
charged 26-year-old Stephen
Frederick Stanley, of Port
Coquitlam, for indecent
assaults alleged to have been
carried out at Ambleside
Beach June 14 and at Park
Royal South parkade
December 14.

The December attack was
by far the most violent of any
of the assaults carried out on
women on the North Shore.

Up to then, the Grabber’s
style had been to quickly
grope at women's breasts,
sometimes holding his
victims around the neck
from behind.

That day, a 64-year-old
woman turning up for work
at a department store, said
the man jumped on top of
her while she was turning
round to get her purse from
the back seat of her car.

She said he tore at her
clothing like a madman and
held her pinned firmly while
he laid on top of her across
the front seats of her car
until she managed to sound
the car horn and startled him
away.

The Ambieside incident
was on a 35-year-old woman
who was sunbathing with
her son and said she was
aware of a shadow looming
over her just before her
breasts were grabbed by a
man.

The other attacks in West
Vancouver were also in the
Park Royal area and all the
unes reported in North van
were at Capilano Mall in the
area of the elevators and the
parkade.

Stanley, a married man
who 1s a delivery driver, was
arrested at his place of
employment Thursday last
week as a result of an in-
vestigation by Burnaby
RCMP

He was taken to West
Vancouver Friday and was
charged with the two
assaults in that municipality
The same day he was in
terviewed in West Van by a
detective trom North van
and charges for the Capilano
Mall assaults were also laid
against him

He ts duc to appear in

provincial court in West
Vancouver tomorrow
(Thursday).
