POLICE have one suspect in custody as they investigate two overnight sexual assaults in New Providence, one in which the female victim was abducted in a car and held at gunpoint.
Shortly after 11pm on Saturday, a man went to an ATM machine on Prince Charles Drive leaving a female inside his Honda Civic. As he returned to the car, a man with a handgun approached and robbed him off his vehicle, speeding off with the female inside.
The gunman took the female to an undisclosed area in western New Providence where he sexually assaulted her and later left the vehicle.
Three hours later, officers from the Selective Enforcement Unit were on routine patrol on Charles Vincent Street when they came across a vehicle with an adult male and a female visitor inside. She reported that the adult male had just sexually assaulted her.
The man was subsequently arrested and taken into custody.
Investigations continue in both incidents.
