Detroit Serial Rapist Attacks Again, Group Patrols Streets
After another attack by a repeat rapist, a community activist group in Detroit says it's ready to hit the streets.
The latest attack took place Monday night. And while police are not releasing details, they do say this suspect is targeting women who are alone. Detroit Police are advising people to carry a cell phone and let others know where they will be.
The head of the community activist group Detroit 300 says they will hit the streets again, Thursday, and will patrol the northeast side of town - the same area where police say a man attacked a number of women this month.
The same group patrolled the streets last summer after a 90-year-old woman was raped. Police credited that group's efforts in the arrests of three men from that attack.
Detroit Police say the man suspected in the string of rapes has attacked women walking alone, at bus stops and getting out of their cars. According to police, the man takes the women at gunpoint to a secluded location, then robs and sexually assaults them.
The suspect is described as a black male in his 30s, 5'9", with a thin build, mustache and goatee.
Anyone with information is asked to call 313-596-1950.
