Police Search For Man In Burglary At Dearborn Home

DEARBORN, MI — Police are trying to identify a man wanted in connection with a Monday night home burglary in Dearborn.

Police said the man approached the front door of a home in the 7600 block of Barrie at 8 p.m. when he rang the doorbell and tried to open the locked front door after receiving no answer.

The man then went into the home through an unsecured window and stole multiple items from inside the home, according to police.

Nearby surveillance video caught the man running away from the home through neighboring backyards, according to police.

Investigators believe the man may be connected to a string of breaking-and-entering incidents in other parts of the country, using a similar method.
