Police said the women were walking in the area of Britannia Road West and Queen Street South at 10:20 p.m. when the male suspects approached them.

The victims were not physically injured. The suspects' vehicle is believed to be a newer-model, light-coloured Audi SUV. Police released a photo of the vehicle on Friday.
