Beaverton home invasion, assault prompts hunt for suspect
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- Detectives are seeking information after they say a Beaverton woman was assaulted by a home invader on Monday.
According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a home near Southwest Bridle Hills Drive and Southwest 161st Drive where a woman said an unidentified man had entered her home and assaulted her both physically and sexually.
The woman said she didn't recognize the man because he took steps to conceal his identity.
Authorities said they conducted an extensive search for the suspect, which included using K9s and drones, but they weren't able to find anyone.
Detectives said they learned that the victim had been receiving threats from Luis Alberto Garcia, 31. However, Garcia didn't match the description of the suspect and had an alibi at the time of the attack.
Although not the suspect, authorities said they do think Garcia was connected to the incident. On Wednesday, he was taken into custody on unrelated charges after a search warrant was served at a home in Cornelius.
Officials are asking anyone in the area of the incident to check their surveillance cameras from 10 to 10:45 p.m. on June 9 for any suspicious activity.
They are also asking anyone with potential information about Garcia's connection to the case to contact authorities.
