The latter is currently detained, following a first charge relating to crimes of sexual nature, but the investigation has established he also allegedly assaulted a second victim.

Investigators have reason to believe Cauvier may have made other victims, with different attack strategies.

The Facts

Initially arrested on Oct. 10 for attempted kidnapping, the suspect is now accused, in two different cases, for the following offences: kidnapping, sequestration, sexual assault, assault with a weapon, death threats and attempting to administer narcotics to its victims.

He allegedly approached them in outdoor parking lots to attempt to drug them, abduct them and physically assault them.

Although his action plan is similar (for each victim), investigators aren’t ruling rule out the hypothesis he could have used different schemes with other victims.

It’s also likely that he’s been active for many years in a larger sector of Laval, and the North Shore.

Anyone who would have been a victim of Cauvier, or has information about this file, can communicate, confidentially, on the SPL info line at 450 662-INFO (4636) or 911, mentioning the file. LVL-221001-007. (C.P./IJL)

Investigators have reason to believe that Cauvier may have had other victims, and they would like to contact them.

“Cauvier was driving in a dark grey Dodge Caravan, with tinted windows,” said Erika Landy, spokesperson for the SPL.

That suspect vehicle had damage to the rear passenger side bumper, and was also damaged between the light and the trunk on the driver’s side.

SPL investigators would like to thank the Laval and north shore merchants, who collaborated in their investigation and success.

The Facts

Around 1 a.m., on Saturday, Oct. 1, the victim, a 21-year-old woman, was dropped off in the parking lot of Montmorency’s metro station by an Uber vehicle.

As she was heading toward her vehicle, parked not far at Collège Montmorency, the woman was accosted by the suspect, who physically tried to kidnap her. She would have managed to scare him away.

Living in Sainte-Sophie, in the Laurentides, Cauvier is facing charges of attempted kidnapping, sequestration and assault.

He appeared at Laval’s courthouse, at the Court of Quebec on Tuesday, Oct. 11, and will remain detained until his return to court, scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 13.

During a speedometer operation around 10:30 a.m., a 30-year-old man from Montreal was registered 104 km/h in a construction zone established at 50 km/h, located on the Pie-IX Bridge, in Laval.

Following checks of the off-road SUV, and with the offender, the police arrested the suspect, in connection with vehicle theft.

Excessive Speeding

The Montrealer was also given a ticket of $817, and 10 demerit points for excessive speeding. His driver’s license was immediately suspended.

To conclude, he could face charges, among others, of theft and concealment of vehicles.

Second Incident

Later in the day, around 1:45 p.m., patrol officers were dealing with a road safety operation, related to the violation of a mark applied to the roadway, at the intersection of highways 440 and 13.

During the operation, officers saw an SUV driving on the public road while it was reported stolen. Consequently, the police arrested the underage driver, also from Montreal.

The latter could receive several statements of offence, such as having driven a road vehicle without having the appropriate class of licence.

That offence is punishable by a fine of $361.

Finally, he could also face charges relating to vehicle theft. (B.L.)
