COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Columbia police say one person might be responsible for up to nine crimes including break-ins and one rape.
The Columbia Daily Tribune reports (the crimes were reported between June 29 and Sunday.

In each incident, the suspect entered through an unlocked door. He is described as a white or Middle Eastern male in his 20s with a thin to medium build and medium height. It's also possible the suspect could be Hispanic or Latino.
Schlude said it's likely there have been more break-ins that have not been reported.
