Police in Somerville seek individual as they investigate string of break-ins

Police in Somerville, Massachusetts, continue to investigate a string of break-ins and are now asking for the public’s help in identifying a person who may have information on the case.Investigators released images of the individual they wish to speak with on social media. They did not refer to him as a suspect or person of interest — instead, authorities simply said the person “may have information related to these incidents.”Police have asked residents to remain vigilant after at least nine break-ins were reported in a span of 10 days. Seven of those break-ins were reported in the east end of the city and occurred in close proximity to one another. In five of those cases, residents were home at the time when the break-in happened.Arrests have been made in connection with some of these incidents, according to police, but additional break-ins have occurred since those arrests.Two residential breaking and entering incidents were reported in Ward 6, police added, Residents are not known to have been home at the time of those break-ins.All Somerville residents are being asked to take proactive steps to protect their homes and neighborhoods, including:Always lock your doors and windows, even when you are home.Do not buzz in individuals you do not know in multi-family buildings.Leave lights on when you are away to make your home appear occupied.Consider installing motion-sensor lighting or security cameras.Report any suspicious activity immediately by calling 911.“Your awareness and cooperation are essential in helping keep our community safe,” police said in a public safety advisory posted to the department’s Facebook page. “If you see something, say something.”Further information about these incidents has not been shared, including any details about the arrests made, or what, if anything, has been stolen during these break-ins.This story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.
