Coronado police are warning residents to keep their windows locked after surveillance video showed a burglary suspect trying to break into a home.
The man successfully sneaked into two homes early Friday morning while residents slept, investigators say.
He was spotted on surveillance video casing a home in the 200 block of E Avenue at about 5:30 a.m., checking windows and using a cellphone flashlight to peek inside. Finding an unlocked window, the suspect got in and grabbed cash, a laptop, a tablet and sunglasses.
He then walked right out the front door, leaving it wide open.
Police say the man immediately went around the corner, to the 900 block of Second Street. He broke into a home there through an unlocked patio door and stole cellphones and cash.
The residents woke up to find their possessions shuffled around, so they called police.
During the investigation, officers say they were able to get the suspect’s fingerprints off a glass window, so they are running them through their database to see if they can find his identity.
