The Alexandria Police Department (APD) is seeking assistance from residents in the neighborhood where the incident took place. They are specifically asking those who have security cameras that may have captured relevant footage and anyone who witnessed anything to come forward. Detective Kristina Loerch can be contacted at 703-746-6785. It is important to note that tips can be provided anonymously.
There have been two late-night attacks on women in Alexandria this month. The first incident took place on Main Line Blvd. and the second incident, which occurred recently, has left the police searching for the suspect. Authorities have identified a suspect who is currently in custody in another jurisdiction, but the investigation is still ongoing.
The current investigation conducted by APD suggests that the two incidents are not connected.
