Delta Police are investigating two reports of sexual assaults on high school students in the Sunshine Hills area of North Delta on Friday (Jan. 10).
Police were called at about 8 a.m. after two Grade 8 girls said they were followed by a male as they were walking to school. The man approached the girls from behind and sexually assaulted one of them, said police.
