Yesterday afternoon, a serious incident on Lincoln Avenue ended with a quick arrest thanks to the fast actions of the victims and the swift, coordinated response of police officers, investigators, and the Anaheim Police<\/a> Real Time Crime Center.<\/p>\n

Around noon, a mother and her 15-year-old daughter were walking near Lincoln Ave and N. East St<\/a> when a man jumped out from nearby bushes and tried to pull them off the sidewalk while threatening to sexually assault them. The two fought back, broke free, and immediately called police, giving officers a detailed description of the suspect.<\/p>\n

Anaheim Police immediately launched a coordinated response involving patrol officers, detectives, and the Real Time Crime Center. Using the information provided by the victims and investigative tools, officers identified the suspect as 59-year-old Jose Gudino.<\/p>\n

Less than two hours later, investigators located Gudino and took him into custody without incident. He was booked on charges including kidnapping and attempted sexual assault.<\/p>\n

While no one ever want incidents like this to happen in their city, the Anaheim Police remain focused on responding quickly, using every available resource, and holding offenders accountable. The fast response from between patrol officers, detectives, and the APD\u2019s Real Time Crime Center helped remove a dangerous suspect from the community.<\/p>\n
