PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police are investigating a series of reported sexual assaults that they think may be connected.
Police say the incidents have occurred on the North Side during early morning hours, with the suspect described as a smaller white man driving a white pickup truck.
Investigators think he could be a repeat offender. Anyone with information about a similar incident is asked to call the Special Victims Unit at 412-323-7800.
The department is increasing patrols in the affected areas and “dedicating additional resources” to this investigation, adding that investigators are “working tirelessly” to identify and apprehend the suspect.
A spokesperson for Pittsburgh Public Safety called it “an extremely active and ongoing investigation.”
“While Pittsburgh Police understands the level of concern and interest in this case, detectives are unable to provide more specific details to the public at this time, as doing so would jeopardize the investigation, the spokesperson added. ”We would like to assure the community that multiple resources have been dedicated to the case and police thank the public for providing valuable information that has advanced the investigation.
In the meantime, they urge residents to take extra precautions, like traveling in groups, remaining alert in public spaces and reporting anything suspicious to 911.
