A Burlington vape shop owner arrested last month for sexual assault faces new charges after more alleged victims came forward, Halton Regional Police said Thursday.
On Sept. 8, Mouhamad “Frank” Sabra, 64, was charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of failing to comply with a probation order after a woman reported an alleged assault at his vape shop to cops.
Police said three women have since come forward, alleging they were assaulted by the accused.
As a result of the investigation, police said Sabra was arrested and charged on Wednesday with seven counts of sexual assault, two counts of indecent act and breach of a probation order.
Police urge anyone who may have been victimized to contact the child abuse and sexual assault unit at 905-825-4777, Ext. 8970.
Tips can also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477 or online at haltoncrimestoppers.ca.
Man sought for indecent acts on Danforth, at East York park
Toronto cops need help identifying a suspect linked to three indecent act investigations in the city’s east end.
Police said the first incident was reported on Sept. 8 at about 10:45 a.m. in the Woodbine-Danforth Aves. area, where a victim who was their changing clothes in the basement of their home noticed a man watching through the window.
The man allegedly exposed himself and fled from the area.
Cops said the second incident happened on Sept. 23 at 8:40 a.m. on the Taylor Creek Park pathway, where the man spoke to a jogger and allegedly exposed himself to the victim before fleeing.
Police said a similar incident was reported by another jogger at the same East York park trail last Wednesday at around 9:30 a.m.
Cops have released a photo of the suspect, describing him as about 5-foot-7 with a thin build. He was last seen wearing dark blue cargo pants, a black T-shirt, a hooded sweater with the hood up and an athletic-style ski mask. He was riding an electric kick scooter.
