Delaware police search for repeat kidnap suspect
Police say the kidnapping of a woman at a Wilmington apartment complex appears to be related to a similar incident last week.
New Castle County Police said Monday that a woman was in the common area of the Arundel Apartments on Sunday when she was confronted by a man wearing a black mask and brandishing a handgun.
Police say the man forced her into her apartment and physically and sexually assaulted her. Police say he then forced her into her car and made her drive to several ATMs and withdrawal money.
Police say the woman was able to escape and call 911.
Police say they believe the suspect is the same man who kidnapped and assaulted another woman in Wilmington on Feb. 13.
