Recent Area Burglary

From Sgt. Fink, BCPD:

 

Earlier this week a resident on Kirkwall Rd reported that an unknown African-American male entered her residence, confronted her teenage child (who was not a target of the suspect thus was not assaulted or otherwise injured) then left out of the house but not before taking a laptop, cellphone and Ipad.  Witnesses saw the subject running down the alleyway towards Loch Raven but he was not located by responding Officers.

The reason for this email alert is that the suspect entered the home through an unlocked front door after nightfall and the items taken were easily accessible once the suspect was inside. As with vehicles and any outbuildings on properties I am stressing to you to stress to your neighbors the importance of properly securing everything!!  Lock all windows and doors to your residence, vehicle, shed, garage!  Put all valuables--cash, jewelry, electronics, etc--in secure locations, out of sight so that the possibility of having them stolen is decreased.  Stress the importance of doing all the little things to best secure your property, valuables and family from the criminal element that is a part of our society.  The less vulnerable we make ourselves the less of a target we become for them!!

The suspect in this incident is described as African-American, male, early 20's, 6'1" tall, 210 lbs, medium build, wearing a navy blue hoodie and dark blue jeans.

Presently this is an open investigation assigned to our Burglary Detectives.

Thank you, Sgt Stephen Fink, 2815 PC06 COT
