About 10:45 pm on Sunday night, April 13, in the 5700 block of Worth Street , residents were alerted by a puppy who started to whine at the bedroom door. Thinking that the puppy had to go out, they started to go outside only to find a man of African-American descent with a backpack on their porch. The door was not opened and the police were called immediately. The man left the porch and went north on Fulton and right on Junius. The police, unfortunately, were not able to locate him.
That night, the porch was dark. The porch lights which normally are on at this house, had burnt out on Easter Sunday and the residents hadn’t had time to replace them.
A week or so ago, a video camera captured a man matching a general description of this person-of-interest, removing items from a porch several blocks away. It is not known at the present time if these two incidents are related. If you do see anything suspicious, particularly at night, do not hesitate to call 911. Most legitimate evening strollers do not carry backpacks with them. Report the incident as a “suspicious person.†It gets a higher priority than a generic concern.
