According to police, the first incident happened on Saturday around 3:45 a.m. along the 1100 block of 11th Street. The suspect walked into an apartment through an unlocked front door. A victim woke up the suspect "committing a lewd act near her," police said. The suspect fled afterward.

At the time, he was wearing a black gator face mask, dark hoodie and black pants.

The following morning around 5:40 a.m. along the 1000 block of Pleasant Street, the suspect entered another apartment. Police said they are not sure how he got into the unit, but the front door and windows were open. The victim in this incident also woke up to the suspect committing a lewd act near her. The suspect was wearing a gray hoodie with the hood up and gray cargo pants at the time, police said.

Later, the victim noticed her car keys and vehicle had been stolen. A victim from the same location also reported her car keys had been stolen, police said.

A third incident happened shortly after 6 a.m. on Monday, also along the 1000 block of Pleasant Street. Police said the suspect entered a basement-level apartment through an unlocked window and a victim woke up to the suspect sexually touching her. The suspect went into another bedroom, where a second victim confronted him. He was wearing a red Hawaiian-style, button-up shirt, police said.
