RCMP have issued an arrest warrant for a man following a burglary and sexual assault in Nanoose Bay, BC

Police say the attack happened when a man broke into a home along Morello Road and sexually assaulted a resident on July 30.

A suspect was arrested later that day and later released with a court date scheduled.
