WEST NEWBURY — The West Newbury Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance as investigators seek to identify a suspect captured in surveillance photos at a breaking and entering on Ash Street.
On Tuesday, Feb. 14, West Newbury Police were notified of a breaking and entering that occurred at a home on Ash Street that day at about 9:39 a.m.
An investigation determined an individual kicked in a door to the home’s garage, and then kicked in an internal door in order to gain access to a home where he subsequently stole assorted valuables, including jewelry and silverware before fleeing in a white vehicle, believed to be either a Mercury Grand Marquis or a Ford Crown Victoria.
Prior to the break-in, a white male who was wearing a gray Nike baseball hat, a black jacket, a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans, camouflage gloves, and white Nike sneakers, was captured on video walking up the driveway to the home.
The male seen in surveillance videos looked into several of the home’s windows and into a sliding door before covering his face with a mask and kicking in a door to the garage.
Anyone who believes they recognize the individual pictured in surveillance images, or anyone with information on this incident, is asked to call West Newbury Police at 978-363-1212, or to email Sgt. Rich Parenteau at parenteau@westnewburysafety.org.
