Burglary Try Connected To Rape?

Coeur d'Alene police detectives are investigating an attempted burglary early this morning that could be connected to a rape a few blocks away. An older female who lives in the 1100 block of Pennsylvania Avenue reported that she was watching TV at about 12:39 a.m. when she walked into the kitchen, where she saw the legs of a male climbing through her kitchen window. The prospective burglar fled when she yelled for her husband who was sleeping in the next room. At 12:42 am the police department received the report of a prowler in the 700 block of N. 11th Street. This area is very close to the location of the attempted burglary. The female victim reported she saw a male peaking through her window. Officers responded and were unable to locate the male. A 26YO female was raped in the 1100 block of Harrison Avenue about 2 a.m. And a 52YO female was reportedly raped near the Ponderosa Golf Course, at the end of Harrison about 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
