The Pittsburgh Police Department is currently investigating a troubling pattern of reported sexual assaults on the city's North Side, which they believe might be linked. As reported by WPXI, the assaults took place yesterday morning. It's noted that six such assaults have been reported this August. Sources describe the suspect as a smaller white man driving a white pickup truck, thought to be a repeat offender.
Driving a white pickup truck, the description of the suspect is particularly chilling in its specificity, and the frequency of attacks is yielding a city on edge. Pittsburgh Police Zone 1, which includes the North Side, has responded by increasing patrols and dedicating more resources to the investigation.
Anyone with information about similar incidents is strongly encouraged to reach out to the Special Victims Unit at 412-323-7800, as detailed by WTAE.
