Police are asking for the public's help identifying an individual accused of burglarizing multiple homes in New Castle County, Delaware.
The New Castle Couty Police Department believes the suspect is connected to several burglaries reported in November along Faulk Road, Fairfax Boulevard, Darley Road, and nearby areas.
Investigators believe the suspect selects homes by approaching the front door to determine if anyone is inside. Once they know no one is home, the suspect typically moves to the rear or side of the property and then enters through an unsecured window or door.
In some cases, investigators said the suspect had gained entry by forcibly breaking windows or doors.
