Police Investigating Two Rapes Near New Castle

New Castle, PA (AP) - State police in Lawrence County are trying to determine if a reported rape over the weekend is related to another rape reported earlier this month.

In the most recent incident, a 25-year-old New Galilee woman says she accepted a ride from a man in a pickup who drove her to a road in Wayne Township, raped her, and threw her from the vehicle late Sunday night.

Police say a similar attack occurred on June sixth along Route 208 at about 3 a.m.

Police say the attacker in both instances was a white man in his late 20s or early 30s, who stands about 5'8" tall with a muscular build, blue eyes and short brown hair.

They say his pickup is brown and has yellow cab lights on its roof.
