CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Detectives are investigating after a burglary and indecent liberties case in northeast Charlotte, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Detectives with CMPD's Crimes Against Children Unit are conducting an investigation.
It happened on February 2 in the 2000 block of Canterwood Drive. Police said an unknown man broke into a home, and touched a teenage girl without her permission.
The girl physically resisted the suspect, causing him to run from the home, according to CMPD.
CMPD attempted to locate the suspect but did not find him.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male with a mustache wearing a black hat, black jacket and gold necklace.
This incident is similar to two previous cases reported in the same apartment complex in 2019, according to CMPD.
