Police in North Vancouver are investigating two separate assaults involving people using the LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr. RCMP said that in both instances, victims reported that they had been communicating with a person through Grindr and had agreed to meet in person. North Vancouver RCMP Const. Paul Reece says, “when they met that person, it turned out to be a group of young persons.” The victims were then assaulted or threatened by the group, and both incidents also involved damaging the victims’ vehicles.
