In two of the incidents, the victims were groped as they walked down the street, by the suspect who rode by them on a bicycle. In a third incident, the suspect approached the victim on foot, groped her, then fled on a nearby bicycle. The incidents occurred on the following dates, times and locations:

11/13/18   8:40 p.m.     3rd Street & Coronado Avenue

The suspect has been described as a male Hispanic, 30-40 years-old, 5’8” to 5’11” and 160-170 pounds and wearing a dark colored hoodie.
