Juvenile arrested for attempted rape
A minor accused of attempted rape was taken into police custody after police caught him fleeing the residence of his alleged victim in Koblerville past midnight Tuesday.
A police officer roving the village at the time of the incident came across a 16-year-old girl, claiming the 17-year-old suspect forced entry into her house and tried to sexually abuse her.
In an interview with police, the victim said she was asleep when the boy allegedly came on top of her and started undressing her.
When she woke up the girl tried to scream and pushed him off her, police reports said.
The suspect hurriedly ran out of the window, that he earlier slipped into as a point of entry.
Before he could flee from the vicinity however, police nabbed him and brought him back to the crime scene where he was positively identified.
His arrest was based on charges of burglary, attempted rape, and minor consuming alcohol.
Multiple theft cases reported
Two Garapan-based shops were burglarized Tuesday, with stolen items amounting to over $10,500 in cash alone.
According to Department of Public Safety spokesperson Cecil Celes, the Sunleader Supermarket in Garapan complained of two metal safe boxes missing from the establishment since Tuesday.
Management claimed that inside the safe boxes were important identification cards, passports, a bank account passbook, and over $10,000 in cash and checks.
The Paradise Florist in Garapan is also reported to police the absence of several valuable items missing from inside a red and black-striped luggage to include one gold necklace, one gold ring, one black camera, and a passport.
When the victim was interviewed, he claimed that his brother who was manning the store around 8pm that night saw a boy with dark complexion riding his bike around the area.
According to the victim’s sibling, he and the boy go to the same school.
The collective amount of missing items taken from the floral shop totals $570, according to police.
