Man allegedly linked by DNA to series of sexual assaults

MIAMI (AP) -- Police say they've arrested a man they believe committed more than a dozen sexual assaults in north Miami-Dade and southern Broward counties since January.

Police say the 29-year-old man is a registered sex offender who has been linked by DNA to two attempted armed sexual batteries.

Investigators believe he may also be responsible for more than a dozen other cases of intruder sexual assaults or break-ins.

Authorities have been searching for this alleged stalker for months, urging residents to lock windows and doors.
