You know the end is near when the City of Berkeley, Calif., is less politically correct than a newspaper. Or maybe it’s just the end of newspapers that is near. Here’s how the City of Berkeley’s Web site described the suspects in two sexual assaults and a burglary:

Detectives are investigating a sexual assault that occurred this morning before dawn on the 1200 block of Milvia St. in north Berkeley.

The victim described the suspect as:
Black male, late teens early 20s, 5-06 to 5-08, thin build

On Tuesday, June 17, 2008, in the late morning hours, a woman was sexually assaulted in her home on the 2300 block of Derby St.

The victim described the suspect as:
Black male, 20s, dark complexion, 6-02, thin build

On Saturday, June 21, 2008, in the early morning hours, a residence on the 1800 block of Vine St. was burglarized. This burglary is suspicious given the proximity and the suspect description.

The victim described the suspect as:
Black male, 20s, dark complexion, tall, muscular build

In all three cases the suspect was armed with a deadly weapon. Investigators are looking into the possibility these cases are related.

Here’s how the San Francisco Chronicle described the same suspects:

Two sexual assaults occurred Tuesday morning, one before dawn on the 1200 block of Milvia Street and one later in the morning in a home on the 2300 block of Derby Street.

In the first incident, the victim described the suspect as a male in his late teens to early 20s, 5 feet 6 ito 5 feet 8 with a thin build.

In the second incident, the victim described the suspect as a male in his 20s, dark complexion, 6 feet 2 and with a thin build.

On Saturday, a burglary occurred in a residence on the 1800 block of Vine Street. The victim described the suspect as a male, in his 20s, dark complexion, tall with a muscular build.

The suspect was armed with a deadly weapon in all three cases, and police are investigating the possibility that they are related.
