Sexual Assault Suspects Sought in 2nd Incident

Police said Thursday that they believe the two men who abducted and raped a 17-year-old Japanese exchange student in Oxnard earlier this week also tried to snatch a woman off a Moorpark street last week.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department and the Oxnard Police Department are joining forces and expanding the search for the men countywide.

Both incidents involved two men, who are 25 or younger, driving a dark green or black four-door Saturn with tinted windows, and grabbing women who were walking alone at night, police said.
