Sheriff Identifies Suspect in Pajaro Home Intrusion Involving Two Girls

Investigators are asking the public for tips after releasing the suspect’s photograph.

Overview

  • Authorities say 31-year-old Aniketh Kumar of Seaside allegedly entered a Pajaro residence through an open door and began removing his pants in a bedroom occupied by girls ages 6 and 9.
  • The children screamed as family members rushed in, forced the intruder outside, and detained him until deputies arrived, and no injuries to the girls or relatives were reported.
  • Deputies responded around 9 a.m. Saturday to a residence on the 200 block of Brooklyn Street after a call reporting a residential burglary.
  • Investigators later learned Kumar had entered a nearby apartment shortly before the incident and fled when occupants said they would call law enforcement.
  • The sheriff’s office released Kumar’s photo and requested information at 831-755-3700, and local reporting noted he was treated at a hospital and not listed as in custody Monday afternoon.
