Foot fondler on the loose in Lake Tahoe area, officials warn

People in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, are being cautioned to secure their residences as a foot fondling intruder has been making their way around the area.

Two women staying at a resort in Stateline, Nevada, reported intrusions to their rooms on Sunday and Monday morning, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said in a release Tuesday.

The women woke up to the intruder "fondling their feet," the sheriff's office said. In both incidents, the women were staying on ground floor rooms where the intruder is believed to have gained entry through unsecured exterior screen doors.

A description of the suspect was not released. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said it was actively investigating the incidents and asked members of the public to submit tips if they have any leads.
