UPDATE—Police say they have identified the man pictured but he has not been apprehended. His identity has not been released.

Previous report—The Baltimore County Police Department is asking for help identifying a suspect who was captured on surveillance video during one of three recent burglaries in greater Perry Hall.

“Detectives believe that the same suspect is responsible for these three incidents,” police said in a statement.

On Tuesday, officials released a picture of the suspect, whom officials described as having reddish brown hair and a beard. He may have tattoos on his left arm.

He was driving a small vehicle that was dark in color, possibly a Mazda 3 hatchback, officials reported.

Police said the surveillance photo of the man was captured during one of the three burglaries, which took place Sept. 5 and 16.

The first two burglaries occurred in the same block on the same day.

After noon on Sept. 5, a woman notified authorities that she had returned home to find a man at her door in the 5600 block of Carrington Drive, the report said.

The suspect told the woman he was there to repair the door, and when she said there was nothing wrong with it, he ran away, according to the report.

Once the man left, the victim found that there now was damage to the door, and her bedroom had been ransacked and jewelry taken, according to the report.

Police responded to a second burglary call in the same block before 3:30 p.m., officials reported. In that case, a resident said a burglar entered through the back door and took money between 10:15 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sept. 5.

In the third burglary, the door to a home was damaged in the 4800 block of King Avenue, according to police.

Officers responded to the residence after 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16, where they were informed someone had entered the vestibule between a home and garage, then run from the scene, police reported. The door to the home was damaged, according to the report.

Anyone with information about the recent burglaries or the suspect picture may contact police at 410-307-2020 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
