The Sacramento Police Department is investigating four incidents where a suspect robbed and then demanded the female victims expose themselves. 

The four incidents occurred on Monday, November 22, 2010, between 6:30 p.m. and 7:40 p.m., in the area near Fruitridge and Power Inn Road.  At this time it is believed that the suspect is the same person in all four incidents.  The suspect is described as a male Black adult in his 20's, 5'6"-6'0" tall, thin, wearing a ski mask, black hooded sweatshirt or jacket, dark colored jeans, and armed with a gun.

 The following are summaries of the four incidents:

Quonset Drive/ 25^th Avenue- At approximately 6:31 p.m., the female victim was walking when she was approached by the suspect armed with a gun.  The suspect attempted to commit a robbery but the victim did not have any property.  The suspect then demanded the victim expose herself.  The victim complied and the suspect fled on foot.
