LANGLEY — Mounties in Langley say a 33-year-old woman was rushed to hospital over the weekend after suffering severe burns in what police are calling an assault.

According to a statement from Langley RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Zynal Sharoom, police responded to a woman in distress on Saturday evening, July 12, at approximately 6:35 p.m., in the 20300 block of Fraser Highway in Langley.

When frontline officers arrived, they found a 33-year-old woman suffering from severe burns. She was immediately transported to a local area hospital for urgent medical treatment.

Police suspect the assault was targeted.

“This does not appear to be a random act. We believe the victim was deliberately exposed to an unknown substance, resulting in serious burns consistent with an intentional act,” said Sgt. Sharoom. “We’re urging anyone who may have information about this incident to contact our investigators.”
