UPDATE: On October 4, 2015, an arrest was made in reference to the incident that occurred Friday, October 2, 2015 in the Town of Cape Charles, specifically in Central Park. A full press release will be issued.
Cape Charles Police report that a sexual assault and robbery occurred in Central Park around 5:00 pm on Friday. The assailant was armed, and forced a woman riding a bicycle into a ‘secured’ area. We have been unable to determine where the ‘secured’ area is, but is presumed to be either the new restrooms, or possibly behind the dumpster. The fact that this assault occurred in the vicinity of the newly opened apartments in the old high school, and could have involved the public restrooms, the Police should request surveillance tapes from Cape Charles Lofts (old school apartments); if the suspect fled or entered the park from the northeast, it should be on the camera footage.
