An alleged burglar left behind video evidence after breaking into a home on the 5400 block of Sylvester Street last month. Police have released images of the suspect in hope of identifying him.

The crime happened on June 8 at about 8:50 a.m. The cameras initially recorded the suspect in a rear driveway as he was “casing” homes on the block, police said. Eventually, the man entered someone’s yard and burglarized the residence. Police did not disclose what, if anything, was stolen.
