The Langley RCMP says a woman has been charged following a suspected targeted assault that sent a woman to hospital with severe burns after being exposed to an unknown substance.
Mounties responded to a report of woman in distress at a bus stop along a stretch of the Fraser Highway lined with businesses near the city’s downtown area around 6:35 p.m. on Saturday.
Sgt. Zynal Sharoom says officers found the 33-year-old victim suffering from “serious burns consistent with an intentional act.”
