We are requesting assistance from the public in identifying any Marblehead Street residences that may have home surveillance cameras pointed toward the street. We believe the house was broken into at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22 and that this surveillance footage could be very helpful to the investigation.
