A woman told police she was raped by a mask-wearing man who apparently entered her apartment through an open door, Gwinnett County police said Tuesday.

The alleged assault occurred March 18 between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. at the Bristol Court apartments near Norcross, police said. The victim, whose name is not being disclosed, was able to seek help from a neighbor, who contacted police, according to a letter to complex residents obtained by Channel 2 Action News.

Investigators have canvassed the area, but have not yet identified a suspect, Cpl. Jake Smith with Gwinnett police said Tuesday. Investigators believe the suspect entered the woman's apartment through an unlocked patio door.

The incident remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Gwinnett police at 770-513-5100.
