Colorado's Golden police search for suspects in sexual assault, attempted sexual assault

Detectives with the Golden Police Department are asking for help in identifying two suspects wanted in two separate incidents, a sexual assault and an attempted sexual assault, that happened last month. Witnesses have completed composite sketches of the suspects believed to be involved. 

According to police, officers responded to a report of a sexual assault that occurred during the early afternoon hours of Jan. 18 in the area of U.S. Highway 6 and Ulysses Street, within the Golden Cemetery. Investigators said the victim ran from the suspect to seek help. A witness followed the suspect for several blocks but ultimately lost sight of him. The suspect is believed to be associated with a 2001 Subaru Forester.

That suspect has been described as a Hispanic male in his late 20s to early 30s, about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-11, medium build with dark brown eyes, black or dark brown curly or wavy hair and a groomed beard. The composite sketch was created based on the victim's recollection, according to investigators.
