Detectives have not yet determined whether the incidents are connected or involve the same suspect. Due to several factors, including incidents occurring in two separate areas of the city and slight differences in suspect descriptions, detectives are currently investigating them as separate cases.
Although the incidents are being investigated separately, both involve a suspect entering a home through an unlocked door and sexually assaulting elderly women.
The Richmond Police Department is sharing this information to raise public awareness and encourage residents to take precautions.
Residents are urged to keep their doors locked at all times and call
911if they observe suspicious activity.
