Police across the country are in a full-force manhunt in a search for Gregory Lewis, 26, of Southbridge, Massachusetts, who ripped his GPS unit off his leg and continued on a crime spree of robbery, rape, attacks and assaults that included North Carolina, Oregon and Colorado.

Lewis was originally arrested on Aug. 5, charged with sexual assault of a child under 14. On Sept. 15, he cut the GPS unit, which was court ordered, and left it in the front yard of the alleged victim before heading out of the state, according to police. On Sept. 23, he assaulted and robbed a woman, and on Sept. 25, he returned to his family home and violently assaulted, cuffed and robbed a member of his family. He then took cash, a gun and 200 rounds of ammunition, fleeing in a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee that he stole from a family member, said police.

It is reported that he is attacking and raping women, and then stealing their money, and using dating sites such as plentyoffish.com to meet.

One victim who was attacked in Colorado told WCVB Channel 5 that he is extremely dangerous and that he “hurt me in a very traumatic way. He’s going to continue to hurt anyone he comes across in a traumatic way.”

Lewis is 6’ 2” and weighs around 270 pounds. Recently released by police are pictures of his tattoos, a tribal tattoo on his left shoulder and a hand holding a knife with a broken handcuff on his left chest.

Several outlets reported that state police suspected Lewis was heading back east on Monday night, with a CBS Boston that his destination is unclear.

Lewis is wanted on at least six sexual assaults, and was last spotted in Columbus, Ohio, on Sunday night, reported Fox Boston.
