Police released a sketch Thursday of the suspects who sexually assaulted a woman and stole her prescription medications, after she took out her trash in University Heights.
A $1,000 reward was offered for information leading to arrests, according to San Diego County Crime Stoppers.
SDPD investigators from the Sex Crimes Unit are asking the public to help identify and locate the suspects in this home invasion robbery, said Crime Stoppers officials.
On Tuesday, a man assaulted the victim while the woman stole prescription medicines from her cabinet and ransacked the place, said SDPD officers. Police were called to the home on Texas Street, near Polk Avenue and Howard Avenue just after 10 a.m.
The 34-year-old victim was outside of her home when she was confronted by two people in a robbery, SDPD Officer Bill Hernandez told NBC 7.
Police said a woman knocked on the victim's apartment door, asking for a person who doesn't live there. Twenty minutes later, while the victim was taking out her trash, the woman came back. This time she was accompanied by a man.
After the attack, the suspects ran from the scene, SDPD Officer Joshua Hodge said.
