Police have arrested a man they believe is linked to half a dozen break-ins in South Richmond where the intruder exposed himself or assaulted women.

Saevone Brown, 22, of the 500 block of Rossmore Drive was charged with sexual battery, trespassing, and two counts of breaking and entering.

Police said a resident in The Crossings at Bramblewood apartments called police Thursday night to report a suspicious person. Responding officers detained Brown.

“We always urge community members to call the police when they see something suspicious,” said Lt. Jason Hudson with the Major Crimes Division. “The citizen who called about this person reported something that seemed out of the ordinary, and that information led us to arrest a suspect in multiple sexual assaults.”

Detectives then linked Brown to six incidents between Aug. 29 and Monday in the Ashley Park, Bramblewood Estates and St. John’s Wood neighborhoods off Jahnke Road in South Richmond, police said.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Major Crimes Detective Janet Mills at (804) 646-6734 or Detective Greg Russell at (804) 646-7715. Citizens also can call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000 or text Crime Stoppers at 274637, using the keyword “iTip” followed by your tip.
