Henrico man arrested for groping

A suspect was arrested Thursday in a five-month series of grope-and-run incidents that plagued apartment complexes between West Broad Street and Staples Mill Road. A man would run up to women under the cover of darkness, grab their private parts and run away.

"It was strictly run, grab and then run," said Henrico County Investigator Ed Kopacki.

None of the women was injured, but the incidents caused fear and alarm among female apartment dwellers.

"I think they were afraid of being out at night because of what happened," Kopacki said.

Police identified the suspect as Hector G. Tubin-Tut, 18, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. They think he is also responsible for several peeping Tom incidents.

Tubin-Tut was living with four other undocumented immigrants in an apartment near where the assaults occurred, Kopacki said. Police have charged him with three counts of peeping into an occupied dwelling.

Kopacki said that next week he plans to file 12 additional counts of either misdemeanor sexual battery or simple assault.

Between Dec. 31 and June 2, police received 12 reports of women being accosted and grabbed along streets in four to five apartment complexes off Glenside Drive.

Several months ago, police set up a surveillance operation and began watching the complexes seven days a week after dark, Kopacki said.

This month, investigators spotted a man peeping into one of the apartments, Kopacki said. From there, they developed a suspect in the groping incidents. Arrest warrants were obtained Thursday.

Police called U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and they assisted county officers in arresting the four undocumented immigrants living with Tubin-Tut in the 7600 block of Beth Road.

Police charged two of them with possessing false identification and held them for federal authorities. They were identified as Martin Cutzal-Cali, 24, and Ervin Cutzal-Cali, 22.

ICE agents took the other two into custody. Kopacki said the group had been working construction jobs.

I swear that idiot Fox must have released all the vermin from his prisons only to send them here. More illegal alien scumbags. More of them need to drop in the desert.

Peeping Tom Suspect Arrested



June 24, 2006, 07:14 AM


The arrest of a Peeping Tom suspect leads federal officials to a group of people accused of being illegal aliens. A dozen women tell police they were groped in apartment complex parking lots near Glenside Drive. Now, police tell us the suspect also faces possible deportation to Guatemala.

8News first told you about the suspected serial groper targeting adult women after dark. Police now tell us they believe 18-year-old Hector G. Tubin-Tut is behind 12 assaults. THe first was reported in February.

The last incident happened June 2nd on Sprenkle Court. Nearly 3 weeks later, police made the arrest.

Police tell us officers also caught Tubin-Tut peeping into area homes. Thursday night, Henrico Police arrested Tubin-Tut while immigration officials detained his four roommates. According to police, all five men are illegal immigrants. Ervin and Martin Cutzal-Cali are both charged with possession of false identification.

Police worked tirelessly to solve the crimes, fearing the pattern of assaults could get worse.

"They'll go from grabbing to maybe breaking in to becoming a rapist possibly," said Detective Ed Kopacki of the Henrico Police Department.
