Carlsbad, CA–Carlsbad police arrested an 18-year-old male on suspicion of sexually assaulting women at a North County shopping mall, authorities said

On May 6, officers arrested Brandon Cabrera of Carlsbad with the assistance of The Shoppes at Carlsbad and Macy’s department store employees.

Officers booked Cabrera into the Vista Detention Facility on three separate counts of sexual battery. 

The three separate incidents occurred from May 2021 to May 2022 at The Shoppes at Carlsbad, located in the 2500 block of El Camino Real, Carlsbad police said in a news release.

On February 7, Cabrera reportedly followed a female victim around the Macy’s department store, walked up behind her, and sexually battered her by grabbing a part of her body. After the incident, Cabrera ran from the area.

On May 2, Cabrera reportedly followed a female victim leaving the same shopping center. Once she entered her vehicle, Cabrera sexually battered her by grabbing a part of her body. The victim chased Cabrera, but he got away.

A third victim recently reported that she was also sexually assaulted by Cabrera last year. During that incident, Cabrera approached her from behind and sexually battered her.  

Carlsbad police investigators are seeking additional victims, or anyone with additional information to contact Det Luc at (442) 339-2173 or dzung.luc@carlsbadca.gov.
