Frederick police are investigating this week a burglary and a sexual assault reported at the Maryland School for the Deaf in Frederick.

On Tuesday, police said they received a report of an alleged sexual assault of a male student, believed to have taken place in a school dormitory. The victim was treated at Frederick Memorial Hospital and is in good condition, according to a police release.

The reported assault came just days after police said suspects broke into the school's Career and Technology Building on South Carroll Street, at about 8 a.m., Sunday. Several offices and classrooms were ransacked; money was stolen and property was destroyed.

Suspects also stole a 1995 GMC sport utility vehicle belonging to a staff member.

Anyone with information about either incident can call the Frederick Police Department at 301-600-2100 or the TIPS line at 301-600-8477.
