Crime Stoppers DeWeese Burglary

Dayton (WDTN) - Sometime overnight on Friday January 27th, someone broke into a home in the DeWeese neighborhood in Dayton and proceeded to steal the residents' wallet, purse and other personal items.  The burglar made entry by prying open a window at the rear of the home.  The occupants of the home were asleep in their beds when this happened and never heard a thing.  
   
The suspect then walked to a nearby ATM at 4600 North Dixie, and that may have been his undoing because he was captured there on surveillance.  He attempted to get money with the stolen debit cards, but was unsuccessful.  The contents of the wallet were later found nearby.

As for the burglar, Det. Cayce Cantrell says, "He appears to be a white male who's 35 to 45.  He was wearing a very distinctive plaid flanel coat light gray and black in color with sheepskin lining.  He had a light colored baseball cap and jeans, camo gloves, and a thick goatee and mustache.  If anyone recognizes this person call Crime stoppers at 222-7867.  It's important to get this person off the streets especially since he's entering residences in the middle of the night when the people are home."
