Police charge man with further offences

Sex Assault Squad detectives charged a 30-year-old man on 23 June 2022 as a result of their investigation into an incident in Yokine in the early hours of the same day.

Further inquiries by Sex Assault Squad detectives resulted in them charging the man in relation to two other incidents that occurred earlier this year in Victoria Park.

About 12.30am on 22 February 2022, a woman in her 30s was sitting in her vehicle parked on McMaster Street in Victoria Park when it will be alleged the man entered the passenger side of the vehicle.
