Officers arrested a suspect accused of “multiple break-ins and a sexual assault” at a West Sacramento apartment complex Tuesday morning.

Police responded to the Courtyard Village apartment complex on Evergreen Circle around 4 a.m. following a 911 call, the West Sacramento Police Department said in a news release.

After an “extensive” search, police located the male suspect and took him into custody, according to the news release. Police do not believe there are any outstanding suspects.

Department spokesman Sgt. Stefan Iwanicki confirmed the suspect was arrested after he allegedly broke into “several” residences in the complex, adding that some residents reported break-ins while others reported “prowling-type” behavior. He said investigators were “still tallying” and determining the full extent of the incident as of mid-morning.

The suspect was not named, and Iwanicki said the department is not yet releasing the suspect’s identity.
