Home Invasion with Multiple Sexual Assaults
The Lindenwold Police Department is currently investigating a home invasion with multiple sexual assaults which occurred between 6:00 am and 6:30 am today, Sunday August 22nd. The incident occurred in a ground floor unit of the Arborwood Condominiums, 511 E.Gibbsboro Road in Lindenwold, N.J., which was occupied by a woman in her forties and her seventeen year old daughter. A male entered the apartment through a window, and then ordered the two women from their bedrooms into the living room area. He then collected an object from the kitchen and preceded to viciously sexual assault both women with the object. The suspect then fled the residence. Both women had to be transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the assault.
The suspect was described as a black male, approximately 5’ 10” tall wearing a black hoodie and black gloves. The same suspect is also believed to have committed an earlier break in this morning of another ground floor unit in an adjacent building. During that incident a male entered through a window but was frightened off, possibly by the resident’s dog.
The Lindenwold Police Department is requesting all residents to be extra vigilant in keeping their doors and windows locked. They should report any suspicious activity to the police as soon as possible.
The Arborwood complex consists of approximately thirty eight two story buildings with from ten to twenty residential units per building. In recent years the area has seen an increase in drug activity and related crimes; however these two incidents do not appear to be drug related.
If anyone should have any information regarding these incidents, or information as to the identity of the suspect, please contact Detective Jim Barney of the Lindenwold Police Department at (856) 784-4800 ext 409 or at jbarney@lindenwoldpd.com.
