During the early morning hours, between July 13 and July 18, twenty-seven homes were broken into.

In all incidents, the suspect made an entry or attempted to enter through the backyard gate, rear or side access points and then proceeded to look for unlocked windows or doors.

The suspect was captured on home surveillance cameras from several residences.
