PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Philadelphia police are looking to identify a man wanted in connection with several home burglaries in the city’s East Falls neighborhood.

On May 7, just before 10 p.m., a man was caught on camera at a house on the 3300 block of Cresswell Street, burglarizing a woman’s home while she was on vacation.

Police say the woman did not discover things were missing from her house until she returned on  May 20.

When she checked her security camera, she saw a man wearing a baseball hat and light-colored backpack loading stolen items onto a mountain bike before riding off.

Police say he has a beard, teardrop tattoo below his right eye, tattoos on both arms, and an “Irish” tattoo on his right forearm.

Police believe he is also connected to similar residential burglaries and thefts in the area.

If you have any information on this, police ask you call the Northwest Detective Division at 215-686-3353.
