The sexual assault and robbery of a woman in Orange yesterday and the robbery and attempted sexual assault on another woman 40 minutes later led police to arrest two men, one in each crime.
Both incidents happened along Center Street, just off Main Street, according to Police Director Charles Cobbertt.
Just a few hours after both victims reported to the police what happened to them at 2:20 a.m. and 3 a.m., respectively, he noted, the suspects were arrested.
Cobbertt identified the suspects as Wjuangie Daniels, 19, of South 9th Street, Newark, and Christopher Randolph, 22, of Cleveland Street, Orange.
A 26-year-old woman reported she was robbed and sexually assaulted by two black men as she walked home from work, Cobbertt noted.
The second victim, 29, said she was attacked by two black men, he added.
Both suspects were jailed pending arraignment.
