Two sex assault suspects were arrested on the University of British Columbia campus early Saturday morning.
Around 2:15 a.m., RCMP received a report of a break-and-enter in progress at an apartment building in the 5700-block of Birney Avenue.
Police arrested two men outside the building, and are now investigating allegations of sexual assault.
The suspects and the victims are not known to each other.
Police are looking into whether this incident could be related to numerous unsolved sex assault and prowling cases that have occurred on campus since March.
On March 25, a 20-year-old female student was walking alone when the man emerged from a wooded area and grabbed her from behind. He proceeded to shake her violently and force her to the ground, rubbing his midsection against her back in a sexual manner, according to University RCMP.
The woman fought off her attacker - who fled - and called 911. She was treated for minor bruising to the side of her head.
Just one week later, a young woman spotted a man pressing himself against a window in the lounge area of Marine Drive residence Building 5.
The man then made an unsuccessful attempt to break into the building, according to an email that was sent out warning the campus community.
Anyone with information or who may have seen anything suspicious regarding the most recent alleged assault is asked to contact University RCMP at (604) 224-1322.
