CHICAGO (WLS) — Authorities have apprehended a man suspected of involvement in a recent string of crimes, including a home invasion, attempted sexual assault, and multiple attempted burglaries in the Rogers Park neighborhood and Evanston.

Police identified the suspect as 21-year-old Yeison Diaz-Gomez, who reportedly fit the description of the individual linked to several criminal activities in these areas.

According to police reports, a startling incident occurred earlier this month when a nearly unclothed man broke into a home on the 2000 block of West Lunt Avenue. He allegedly entered through a basement window and assaulted a 32-year-old woman in her bathroom.

The woman, however, managed to fend off her attacker, as confirmed by the police.

Following this event, there were additional reports of attempted burglaries in the vicinity, all occurring within a span of approximately 45 minutes, the Chicago Police Department stated.
