District police are warning people in the Grover Park and Cleveland Park neighborhoods to make sure their doors and windows are locked at night after investigators linked three sexual assaults in the past two months to one predator.

Police say women were attacked May 16, May 25 and June 26 in Northwest. Investigators say in each incident, a woman was awakened early in the morning by a man who got into their homes by unknown methods.

The first incident happened in the 2400 block of Huidekoper Place, the second in the 3000 block of Newark Street and the third happened in the 2400 block of Tunlaw Road.

"That's really scary," said Glover Park resident D'Arcy Klingle. "That makes me feel a little less comfortable, a lot less comfortable."

The man has sexually assaulted or tried to sexually assault the women. He is described as a white or Hispanic man, 5'10" - 6' in height with a medium build, wearing dark pants and a collared shirt.

"We all really feel that we are in a safe section of town. There's a good neighborhood feeling here. To hear that this is happening on my own block is really shocking to me," District resident Maggie Simpson said.

Police have not yet figured out how the suspect is gaining entry into the targeted homes.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 1-888-919-CRIME.
