ORLANDO, Fla. — The Orlando Police Department said it has identified two suspects who were allegedly involved in recent attacks in the Lake Eola Heights and Thornton Park areas.
Officials said the OPD Special Victims Unit is investigating an alleged break-in attempt in 400 block of Cathcart Avenue on Oct. 9, and an attack on a woman in the 1300 block of East Jefferson Street on Oct. 26.
Police said there is no connection between the two attacks.
Two suspects have been identified as Michael Scarlett II and James Calixte. Both men have an active warrant for their arrests.
Orlando police said Scarlett tried to force himself into a woman's apartment on Cathcart Avenue and Calixte was involved in a sexual assault on East Jefferson Street.
Investigators said Calixte was put on probation just a day earlier for another crime.
Police said they are searching for the men, and it is asking the public to help find them.
The neighborhood watch group in Lake Eola Heights is on high alert for the men and said they are asking people to pay attention.
"While you're out and about, we would like you to keep your heads up and your phones down," said Tracey Jacobs, a neighborhood watch coordinator.
Anyone with information regarding the location of the two men is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.
