Over the past month, there have been at least eight daytime burglaries in Delaware County, Pa –including Upper Providence and Nether Providence townships — involving a suspect vehicle described as a small older compact maroon sedan possibly a Mazda with unknown New Jersey tags, reports Newtown Police Chief Chris Lunn,
The suspects are believed to be a white male with a white, dark-haired female driver or two white males.
“They are usually hitting between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.,” says Lunn.
The majority of the entries are forced with some being unlocked doors. In one of the burglaries, a victim encountered the male in his house and chased him down the street where he was observed entering the maroon vehicle and leaving the area. The suspect was described as being approx. 5′ 11″, 170 pounds and about 25 years old. He was wearing sunglasses, a baseball hat and possibly gloves.
