Suspect Sought in Sexual Battery Attempts in Coral Springs

Police release sketch of suspect wanted in two attempted sexual batteries in same neighborhood

Coral Springs police are warning residents about a suspect who has tried to sexually batter two women in the same neighborhood.

Police released a sketch of the suspect Wednesday who has been targeting women in the Wyndham Lakes area.

According to police, the suspect grabbed a woman from behind and pushed her to the ground as she was walking along Wyndham Lakes Boulevard Monday morning. The woman screamed for help and kicked the suspect, who fled the scene.

A similar incident was reported in the community on Feb. 24, with the suspect in that incident matching the description of the suspect in this week's attack.

Police said they've increased patrols in the area but are asking anyone walking or biking during late night or early morning hours to do so with others, carry a cell phone and exercise in well-lit areas.

The suspect is believed to be in his 20s with an average build and a short haircut.

"Keep an eye out, if you see any suspicious people walking in the area that match the description that was given by the police, contact us," said Tyler Reik, with Coral Springs Police.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 954-346-1300.
