A residential burglary was reported in the 5500 block of Vista Canada Place on April 11 at 3:30 p.m. The victim, who was home during the incident, said she heard a “bang” sound coming from the bedroom. When she went to look, she said two men were in front of the patio door. The victim then yelled at the suspects, heard another bang and saw the suspects run toward the front of the house. She described the first suspect as having a medium build and being about 6 feet tall, wearing a dark-colored hoodie, with dark-colored pants. The second suspect was also described as having a medium build, standing about 5 feet, 10 inches tall and wearing a light-colored hoodie. The victim wasn’t able to access the surveillance footage from her Ring doorbell because her subscription had expired.
Later, a deputy received a call from the 5200 block of Haskell Street regarding two men attempting to climb over a fence on White Deer Drive. The deputy contacted the homeowner, who received a notification on his phone about movement detected by the gate of his property. When he checked the surveillance feed, he saw the men attempting to climb over the gate before leaving the area. He described the first suspect as 6 feet tall, wearing a gray hoodie and baggy blue jeans. The second suspect was described as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, wearing a white hoodie, a beanie and black pants. According to his video surveillance, he saw what he believed was a white four-door Subaru sedan driving south bound on Haskell Street.
The deputy believed the the two incidents were connected based on the close proximity and the short amount of time between the occurences. When the deputy returned to the 5500 block of Vista Canada Place to show the victim a photo of the suspects, she said she was not sure if they were the same people.
