Police in the Barrie area are warning the public about three attempted abductions which have taken place over the past month.

All three cases are similar.

In the first case, a 24-year-old woman was riding her bicycle on a pathway at the beginning of November when she was attacked by a man.

After that incident, a 36-year-old woman walking on the sidewalk reported a man trying to drag her into a bush.

The most recent incident took place on Nov. 27, when a 20-year-old woman said a stranger tried to pull her toward a car parked on the street.

A team of special investigators has been set up and a composite sketch has been released.

The suspect is white, 30-40 year old, 5’9” with a medium build. He has shoulder-length hair with blond or light-brown facial hair.

Anyone with information is being asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
