The two residents in the Vermilion Road incident were also transported by Mayo Ambulance to a local hospital for treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

Both incidents occurred in the evening between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. and the Duluth Police Department believes these incidents are related to each other since the description of the suspect and the details of the crime are the same in both incidents.
