Police Release Sleepwatcher Sketch

From HRPD:
Investigators from the HRP/RCMP Integrated Major Crime Section are asking for the public's help identifying a man from a break and enter in the south end of Halifax last month.

At approximately 3:30 a.m. on September 19, a man entered an apartment in the 1100 block of Wellington Street. A screen was removed and entry was gained through an open window. Once inside the apartment, the man entered three separate bedrooms and inappropriately touched two of the three women who were sleeping. One of the witnesses was able to provide enough information to allow for a sketch of the suspect which is being released to the public in the hopes that someone will be able to identify him. He is described as a white male, 20 to 25-years-old, 5'10", with dark hair and a medium build. Police continue to urge residents to be vigilant in keeping their homes secure.

Anyone recognizing the man in the attached sketch or with information in relation to this incident is asked to call police at 490-5016. Information can also be reported anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.crimestoppers.ns.ca.
