Mesa Police Seek Public Assistance in Identifying
Burglary Suspect
May 26, 2011
The Mesa Police Department
has identified eleven burglary cases that may be linked to the
same suspect. The suspect was only seen in one case and the
victim was able to assist with the completion of a composite
sketch (shown here).
Between Saturday, December 11, 2010 and Sunday, May 22, 2011,
the Mesa Police Department has investigated eleven burglaries
possibly linked to the same suspect. The suspect enters the
residence through an unsecured door or window. In a majority of
the incidents, the suspect enters through an unsecured arcadia
door. The suspect takes smaller items that can easily be carried
out (laptops, cameras, cell phones, wallets, gaming systems). In
one incident, the suspect was confronted by a victim, at which
time he put down the victim's laptop and fled without incident.
The burglaries occur while victims are sleeping, between 10 pm
and 4 am. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male, late
teens to early 20s, with a thin build.
The Mesa Police Department recommends that residents secure all
windows and doors prior to going to bed. Be on alert for anyone
walking around checking doors or windows in your neighborhood.
If you notice someone suspicious, do not confront them. Instead
immediately call the police. The locations and dates of the
burglaries are:
