Second Division Commander, Captain Berke has made us aware of a recent and ongoing crime issue.  From Nov 2 to 5, at least 5 sexual batteries have occurred in our area.  In each case an unknown white or Hispanic male grabbed a woman’s buttocks.  No one was physi-
cally injured.  Several of the assaulted women verbally confronted the attacker and he fled.  Please remember to be aware of personal safety. 

If at all possible, do not walk alone at night; stay on higher traffic, well lit routes; be aware of your surroundings; keep your cell phone at the ready in case you need to call 911; and please, call in suspicious activity and people.  The suspect description in these cases varies.  He has been described as a white male and a Hispanic male, stocky build, 20’s – 30’s, 5’7” – 5’10”.

The Arlington County Detective assigned to this "crime trend" is Det. Icalari at (703) 228-4240 or cell # (571) 436-8556.
