Between January 23 and February 6, 2012, there have been 18 residential burglaries and attempted burglaries, primarily on thee north side of Brookline. We believe there are two different patterns and culprits for these crimes. For one pattern, the suspect is breaking in through front doors during the early afternoon hours (12:00 noon – 2:00 pm). This suspect may be ringing doorbells to determine if anyone is home. For the second pattern, the suspect is gaining entry through first floor window equipped with a crank mechanism to open the window, mainly during the early evening hours (5:30 – 7:30 pm).
