Bellaire Burglar Busted By Video, Police Seeking His Identity

BELLAIRE, TX — Home security cameras captured a man who broke into a home in the 5800 block of Community in West University this week. Bellaire Police released the video below and hopes the public can help identify the suspect.

On Tuesday around 2 p.m., the suspect nonchalantly and confidently walked around the home after knocking on the front door. Once there was n answer, he went to the back and appeared to kick in the back door and began stealing from the home.

The video shows there folks walking through the neighborhood, apparently for exercise, while the man walked around this particular home snd not looking like a typical burglar — no mask, no dark clothes, no gloves or any other 'burglar type" outfit accessories.

In the video, the burglar isn't not ducking or acting like he is doing anything wrong. It was later learned that the suspect knocked on several doors before this one, asking each resident about needing any construction work, according to BPD.
