Based on responses received from the public overnight, The West York Police did, this morning, with the assistance of the York City Police & York County DA’s Office take into custody a suspect related to the rape that had occurred in West York on Tuesday. After further developing the investigation, we are announcing that this afternoon, we filed charges against D'angelo Manns (23) of No Fixed Address, York, and that he is in police custody at the Central Booking Center of the... Sheriff's Office. Manns has been charged with multiple felony offenses, including Rape, Involuntary Deviant Sexual Intercourse, Aggravated Indecent Assault, Burglary, Terroristic Threats, and other offenses. Charging decisions were based on consultation with the York County District Attorney’s Office Special Crimes Unit. We are relieved to report that this individual is off the street & no longer a threat. We would again like to thank the public for the outpouring of information which was readily shared with us based upon our request for help.

The West York Borough Police are actively investigating a Rape that occurred on the Borough’s North Side Tuesday morning. We are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect. At roughly 6:00 a.m. a female resident awoke to find a male suspect in her residence. Armed with a knife, the suspect threatened her and raped her. She was treated by specially trained forensic nurses at York Hospital. Police were able to establish that prior to breaking into her residence, t...he same suspect had attempted to gain entry into at least one other Borough residence approx. hour before, where he was chased away by an occupant of the home. We believe that this suspect targeted these residences, however are unable to establish any connection to the occupants of these homes, as they do not know him. We are asking the assistance of the public in helping to identify him. The suspect is a Hispanic male (believed to be Mexican specifically), ranging in age from early 20’s to mid 30’s, possibly with facial stubble. He has a thin to average build and is approximately 5’10 to 6’0 tall. He was wearing a bright orange hooded sweatshirt with wording that contains the word York on it, and was last seen walking eastbound into York City on W. Princess St. from Richland Ave. Our #1 priority is getting him off of the street! If you recognize this individual, please contact the West York Police immediately at (717) 854-1975. You may also contact us via Facebook Messenger or CrimeWatch (where you can leave anonymous tips). If you have concerns about suspicious activity or individuals, please contact 911. We want to remind everyone to always lock your doors, windows, and car doors. Maintain awareness of your surroundings, be careful of what information you share on Social Media, and to be proactive in your personal security. Most importantly, look out for your neighbors and each other - if you see something, say something!

We are asking the public to assist with an investigation by checking their residential and business surveillance cameras, as well as vehicle dash cameras on 09/08/20 from 5:00 am through 5:45 am AND from 6:15 am through 7:00 am for an adult male walking by himself, in the highlighted areas on the attached map. Any clips of interest may be e-mailed, with your name and address, to Lt. Kahley at [email protected] or you may call 717-854-1975 ext. 116.

The West York Borough Police Department is requesting that residents report any suspicious activity that they hear or observe. Remember to take proactive measures for your safety, such as locking doors, windows, and vehicles.

We are in the early stages of this investigation & will be releasing more information as... it is developed. As we are currently working on leads, if you noticed anything unusual overnight, please contact West York Police.

UPDATE: We've identified the driver of the dirt bike. Thank you for your tips! We have been receiving complaints about kids illegally riding dirt bikes throughout the Borough with no regard to other traffic, pedestrians or their own safety. This is one of the kids. He's been out riding throughout the day, so he hasn't been to school today. If you know who he is, please let us know. ... You can leave an anonymous tip at https://york.crimewatchpa.com/westyorkpd/submit-tip. If this is your kid, please give us a call at 717-854-1975, so we can talk to him before he injures himself or someone else.
