Dawson Creek RCMP are looking for a group of vigilantes who sent a man to hospital after assaulting him twice in as many days.
Police received reports of the first targeted attack outside a local business on Dangerous Goods Road at around 9:45 at night.
Just before 7:00 the next morning, RCMP received a call of a second attack at the intersection of 225 Road and Highway 97 South in Arras.
They would later determine the victim in both attacks to be the same 20 year-old man, who was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Initial information in the investigations indicates that the victim had been targeted in both attacks due to unsubstantiated online rumours.
Anyone with information which may help in the investigation is asked to contact Dawson Creek RCMP at 250 784 3700.
