On April 2, at a high-rise apartment building about a mile-and-a-half away, a woman said she woke up about 4:15 a.m. to find a man in her bedroom. She told police he sexually assaulted her before running away.
Police have not said how the women’s apartments were accessed. Both buildings have security entrances controlled by a key fob.
“As part of our investigation we’re working to determine exactly how he entered the building,” said Ashley Savage of Arlington County police.
