“The homeowner believes the suspect was familiar with the home’s property and layout, as he was able to divert around motion sensors and left with ease.”
Police in Abbotsford are warning residents about a prowler after a man was spotted snooping around a home and peering in through windows.
Over the weekend, a homeowner called police to report a man in their yard who had been looking through the windows and watching residents inside.“The homeowner believes the suspect was familiar with the home’s property and layout, as he was able to divert around motion sensors and left with ease,” read a news release issued by Abbotsford police.
The man is described as being 6-foot to 6-foot-3 in height. He was wearing all black clothing and gloves at the time he was spotted. His face was also covered. Police are reminding residents to call 911 immediately when they spot suspicious activity. Residents should also turn on outdoor lights, lock windows and close blinds to deter prowlers from coming on to the property.
If you spot a prowler in your yard, police ask residents to call 911 and not to contaminate the scene as investigators and police dogs will need to collective evidence to try to track the individual.
