Hunt For Man Suspected In Sexual Abuse Of Girls, Home Invasions

CHICAGO, IL — Police released new surveillance photos Tuesday of a person of interest in two Lincoln Park home invasions. In two separate break-ins last month, a man sexually abused two young girls while they were sleeping in their bedrooms, police said.

The suspect broke into a home in the 400 block of West Belden on May 27 around 2 a.m. and abused a girl while she slept in her bedroom, police said.

Around 20 minutes later, the man broke into another home in the 500 block of West Grant Place, where he abused an 11-year-old girl, according to police.

The suspect is described as a white man, 20-30 years old, 5-foot-6 to five-foot-7 and weighing around 160 pounds, police said. He has short brown or strawberry blonde hair and smokes cigarettes.

In 43rd Ward crime alert last month, Ald. Michele Smith said that in both home invasions, the doors of the homes were left unlocked.

Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to call Area Central detectives at (312) 747-8380.
