MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Police are looking for a man accused of breaking into a home and assaulting a woman inside.
Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said deputies were dispatched to the home around 10:46 a.m. Wednesday on the 900 block of Santa Vera Drive in Chanhassen on a report of a first-degree burglary and assault.
When they arrived, they found the suspect must have forced his way into the home through the front door, which was locked at the time.
The woman inside the residence said she was able to fight off the burglar and escape. The man then fled the scene.
He is described as a white man, approximately 25 years old, about 6-foot-1 to 6-foot-2 with a stocky build, brown hair and clean shaven. He was last seen wearing a light blue shirt and khaki-colored cargo pants. A sketch of the man is included above.
The Carver County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is actively investigating the incident.
