Serial sexual offenders on the loose across Taiwan, the Police Reports

Police and a women's group are warning the public on up to five serial rapists who are on the loose in northern Taiwan and Kaohsiung city.

Among the criminals, the most active has committed sixteen offenses since October of 1997 in Taipei City, Taipei County, Taoyuan County, and Hsinchu County.

Targeting women who live in old apartments with no security guards, the "Apartment Wolf" most recently went on the prowl in 2003 when he used handcuffs and a knife to subdue two separate victims in Taipei City.
