TORONTO – Police are warning residents in the city’s west-end about a man who has allegedly committed four brazen break and enters and one sexual assault.
The incidents occurred early on Sunday morning between 12:55 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. near Berry Road and Parklawn Road just north of The Queensway Avenue in Etobicoke.
The man gained entry through doors and windows in the areas that had been left open at night.
During one break and enter, a woman alleges she was sexually assaulted while she slept, police say, and they think the same man could be responsible for a number of similar assaults on September 7, 2012.
In September, police say a man broke into the home of a sleeping 62-year-old woman near Bloor Street West and Islington Avenue around 3:10 a.m. and sexually assaulted her before fleeing the home.
Later that same night, near Royal York Road and Norseman Street, a 49-year-old woman saw a man trying to gain entry to her home but scared him off.
And soon after that, a woman near Royal York Road and The Queensway Avenue was sleeping in her home when a man broke in and allegedly sexually assaulted her before fleeing.
