LAPLACE — A perpetrator raped and stole money from a LaPlace woman in the early morning hours Monday, authorities said.

According to the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff’s Office, a female was assaulted between 3 and 4 a.m. Monday in the 1400 block of Delta Road in LaPlace.

The victim told officers the perpetrator entered the residence, demanded money and forced her to have sexual intercourse with him.
