A man called police to report that his home had been burglarized between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. on March 23rd, and the burglar had targeted his liquor cabinet. The suspect entered through a rear window and stole $35 worth of tequila. Some coins were also stolen from a jar, and the jar was submitted for fingerprint analysis. Nothing else was taken.

7:44 p.m. on March 22nd. 70th block of 21st Ave NW

Two people called police to report that their home had been burglarized between 11:10 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on March 22nd. The suspect entered the residence through a sliding basement window. There was a plastic dowel in the sliding track, but the suspect forced the window open and bent the dowel. The suspect rummaged through the kitchen, office, and bedroom, and stole several items, including computers. One of the victims found the back door open when he returned, indicating that the suspect left through this door. Fingerprints were found on the basement window.

The victims later reported that someone had logged onto facebook and played a game using one of the stolen computers. The victims had synced some of their computers and so were able to track the stolen one. They found the suspect’s email and facebook username.
