Delaware crime: No arrests in rape cases; public told to 'remain alert'
No arrests have been
made in any of the four rapes that occurred since the beginning of the month in
New Castle County and Wilmington, police said Wednesday.
Two women were abducted
at gunpoint and raped by the same man in separate incidents in the Stanton area
June 2 and 5, police say.
"The investigation is
still ongoing," said state police Sgt. Walter Newton. "Fortunately, we haven't
had any more sexual assaults reported, but we are still reminding the public to
remain alert about their surroundings."
They don't know if he
left the area because they don't know who he is, police said.
In addition to the Police reminders to stay alert you should carry some type of personal alarm, pepper spray or other types of self defense products with you. We can help you if you have any questions.
Milford, Delaware police are asking the public to help locate a man wanted on 30 criminal charges stemming from a rape investigation. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of Jaime A. Rivera-Pantoja, also known as Jaime Pantoja-Rivera, 29, of Milford. Rivera has been known to frequent the Milford, Lewes and Frederica areas. He also has ties to Florida and New York, said Milford police spokesman Detective Dwight Young. Rivera was last seen driving a tan Honda Accord station wagon, with Delaware registration, in the Lewes area. He is 5 feet 6, 135 pounds, and has a scar on his left cheek. Police ask anyone with information to call Young or Detective Kathy Getek at 422-8081 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333.

Wherever you are on the street, in an office building or shopping mall, driving, waiting for a bus or cab, stay alert and tuned in to your surroundings. Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes you uncomfortable, avoid the person or leave. Know the neighborhoods where you live and work. Check out the locations of police and fire stations, public telephones, hospitals, and restaurants, or stores that are open late.
On Foot-Day or Night
Stick to well-lighted, well-traveled streets. Avoid shortcuts through wooded areas, parking lots, or alleys. Don't flash money or other tempting targets like jewelry or clothing. Carry a purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket, not a back pocket. Carry only what is necessary, and try not to keep currency and credit cards all in one place. Don't wear shoes or clothing that restrict your movements. Have your car or house key in hand before you reach the door. Try to use automated teller machines in the daytime. Have your card in hand and don't approach the machine if you're uneasy about people nearby. Better yet, only use the ATM machines inside of grocery store, malls, or gas stations.
If you think someone is following you, switch direction or cross the street. Walk toward an open store, restaurant, or lighted house. If someone harasses you, don't be embarrassed. Loudly say, "Leave me alone! Someone call the police! Get away!"
Vehicle Safety
Keep your car in good running condition. Make sure there's enough gas to get where you're going and back. Always roll up the windows and lock car doors, even if you're coming right back. Check inside and out before getting in. Avoid parking in isolated areas. Be especially alert in lots and underground parking garages. If you think someone is following you, don't head home. Drive to the nearest police or fire station, gas station, or other open business to get help.
If someone tries to rob you:
Don’t resist. Give up your property. Don't risk your life. Report the crime to the police. Try to describe the attacker accurately. Your actions can help prevent others from being victims.
Take a Stand!
Make your neighborhood and working place safer by reporting broken street lights, cleaning up parks and vacant lots, and lobbying local government for better lighting in public places. Initiate a block watch program in your neighborhood by contacting your local crime prevention unit.
