Burglary Suspect Sought In Milpitas: PHOTOS

Police have released photos of a man who broke into a Milpitas home on Tuesday morning and stole cash and jewelry.

Around 11 a.m. Tuesday, a suspect holding a pink bakery box knocked on the front door of a home on Paseo Refugio near Santa Rita Drive, police Sgt. Jared Hernandez said. When no one answered the door, the suspect went to the home’s backyard and attempted to open a sliding glass door, Hernandez said.

The suspect then used a rock to shatter the door open and entered the home, where he stole cash and jewelry, according to Hernandez. The suspect is described as a Hispanic man between 21 and 30 years old and 5 feet 8 inches to 6 feet tall with a medium build and short black hair, the sergeant said. He wore a light blue long-sleeve shirt with a light-colored name tag on the front, light blue jeans and white with black shoes, Hernandez said.

The suspect fled in an orange or red late-model four-door sedan, he said. Police released photos captured on the home’s surveillance system of the suspect and suspect’s vehicle.

Anyone with information on the suspect is asked to contact Milpitas police at (408) 586-2400 or http://www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/police/crime_tip.asp.
