Detroit police have released a composite sketch of a suspect wanted in connection with sexually assaulting an 80-year-old last weekend on the city’s west side and are stepping up efforts to find him.
Authorities are working around the clock as activists and supporters canvas the neighborhood for clues, Police Chief James White told reporters Wednesday during a press conference near the scene.
“I have directed every available resource to focus specifically on this perpetrator and get this person into custody,” he said. “…We are very confident that we’re going to identify him and find him. We just need a little bit more information, a little bit more help from our community.”
The incident was reported around 9 p.m. Sunday in the 12000 block of Memorial, investigators said.
“The suspect entered through a rear door and demanded money. The victim told him, ‘No we don’t have any money’ and started to push him out the door,” Detroit police Capt. Rebecca McKay told reporters Monday.
