Police Seek Help Identifying Burglar

are asking help from the public in identifying a man involved in the attempted burglary of a Kennesaw home.

On the afternoon of Saturday, Nov. 19, the man was caught on video ringing the front door of the residence, according to a release from Cobb police. When there was no answer, the man walked to the back of the property, found a metal object lying in the yard, then used it to attempt to pry open the back door, police said.

The man was seen walking away from the screened-in porch area connected to the rear of the residence after being unsuccesful in his attempts to enter the house, police said.

Police are looking for a white male between 18 to 28-years-old. He had a beard and short hair and was last seen wearing dark colored pants, a light colored shirt with stripes, light tan work boots and a Notre Dame sport jacket.

Please see the attached photos of the man. Video from the homeowner can also be provided upon request.

Police ask anyone who can identify the man or provide information about him to call 770-590-5776.
