A sexual assault in the 6000 block of Pineland Drive may be related to four similar assaults that occurred in Dallas and Bossier City, Louisiana.

On Tuesday, Oct. 30, the suspect knocked on the woman’s apartment door, forced his way inside and showed a weapon before sexually assaulting the resident. The incident’s details are similar to sexual assaults that happened at 14200 Dallas Parkway and 141000 Montfort Drive in mid-September, and two other incidents in Bossier City, near Shreveport.
