Mounties in Chilliwack are asking for public assistance as they work to track down the suspects in a pair of assaults that left an adult hurt and a minor with life-threatening injuries over the weekend.

Both attacks occurred “within a short period of time and in close proximity to each other” on Wells Road early Sunday morning, Chilliwack RCMP said in a news release Tuesday.

Officers were called to the 45000 block of the road around 2 a.m. and found the adult male victim, who was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

“The second assault occurred shortly afterward in the same area of Wells Road,” the release reads. “A youth victim was transported to hospital with life‑threatening injuries where they remain in serious condition.”

Police did not share the young person’s age or gender.

“It is alleged that both assaults involved the same suspects, however, the two victims are not known to one another,” the release reads.

Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area at the time or may have surveillance or dash-cam video to come forward.

“Any video between midnight and 3 a.m. on May 3 that may have captured the assaults or the individuals involved could be very significant to our investigation,” said Const. Brennan Kish of the Chilliwack RCMP Serious Crimes Unit, in the release.

“Our investigators are doing everything possible to identify those responsible and to ensure public safety in the community. Information from the public can play a critical role in helping us move this investigation forward.”
