A woman ironing alone in her Northwood Village home was raped by an intruder and robbed of $9 in cash Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Investigators said the man threatened the woman with a large screwdriver, then fled after raping her and rifling her purse.
The 31-year-old woman said her doors and windows were locked, but officers said they found no evidence of forced entry.
Police described the rapist as a Latino man in his mid-20s, about 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing about 220 pounds and wearing a white T-shirt and faded blue jeans.
