PGPD Releases Sketch of Sexual Assault Suspect

Prince George’s County Police officers will be in Laurel Friday morning passing out flyers with a sketch of a suspect in the sexual assault of two young teenagers.

The department is asking for the community’s help in identifying the suspect seen in the composite sketch. A cash reward is being offered in the case.

Authorities say the suspect inappropriately touched the two victims in separate incidents the morning of Sept. 23. The first occurred between 7:45 and 8 a.m., the second at about 8:15 a.m. Both assaults took place on Briarwood Drive at Briarcroft Lane. In both cases, the suspect approached the victims as they walked in the area, touched them inappropriately and then ran away.

The suspect is described as a black man with a heavy build. At the time of the assaults, the suspect had dreadlocks pulled into a Mohawk-style haircut.

Detectives plan to canvass the area of the assaults at 10 a.m. Friday. They’ll pass out Crime Solvers flyers with the composite sketch.

Anyone with information on the suspect’s identity is asked to call 301-699-2601. Callers wishing to remain anonymous can call CRIME SOLVERS at 1-866-411-TIPS.
