MESQUITE, Texas — Mesquite police are asking for the public's help identifying a man reportedly looking into windows and trying to open doors of homes in the area of Motely Drive and Interstate 30.
The Mesquite Police Department posted about the man on Tuesday, saying they've received multiple reports of him trying to open doors in the nighttime hours.
Mesquite police shared two home surveillance camera videos showing a man attempting to open a locked door, then walking away after failing to open the door.
In one video, the man walked to the front door with his shirt pulled over his mouth and nose, looked directly in the camera and tried to open the locked door. In the second video, he covered his face, opened a storm door and tried to get inside.
Police said there have been at least 10 reports of similar incidents.
"[He's] unscrewing light bulbs, trying to pull doors, or even removing window screen," Mesquite police spokesperson Jolynn Lopez said. "We also know he's not connected to a vehicle, so it bakes us feel like he's connected to the neighborhood."
Mesquite police ask that if you recognize this person, contact them at tips@mesquitepolice.org or call Mesquite dispatch at 972-216-6336.
In the meantime, police are asking residents to remove their valuables from vehicle, keep their doors and vehicles locked and check that windows are locked too.
