Extra

Recently, the Berkeley Police Department received an additional report of girl being approached just before 6 pm on October 19th in the area of College Avenue and Webster Street as well (about 15 minutes prior to the previous report of the group of three girls). 

After additional interviews by police detectives, the Berkeley Police Department is also updating the suspect’s vehicle description in these recent incidents to a black full sized cargo van (no side or rear windows). The suspect description remains the same— Hispanic Male, in his late 20’s to early 30’s, with dark hair and a “scruffy face.” 

Investigators continue to search for any quality video surveillance that may have captured the suspect. The Department continues to provide additional patrols before/after school. As suspects may change their appearance or vehicles, it remains important that community members remain vigilant and continue to report any suspicious vehicles or activities they see. If you see something, say something! 

Please call 911 or 510-981-5900 with any immediate sighting so we can dispatch an officer as soon as possible. For any general information please contact our Special Victim’s Unit investigators at 510-981-5715. If a caller wishes to remain anonymous he/she may do so.
