Recognize This Manchester Break-In Suspect?

A rash of break-in burglaries in Manchester's Pine Lake Park section have homeowners on edge and police on alert. Based on witness descriptions, police have developed a composite sketch and they're asking anyone who recognizes him to step up.

Police say the lootings have taken place in daytime hours, when suspects believe that the homes are unoccupied. The sketch is based on accounts by a witness who claims to have seen someone using a prying tool to break through outer doors, including sliding glass doors. They believe that the same forced entry was done to other neighborhood homes.

Investgators are urging everyone to keep their doors, windows and vehicles locked. They also want to be notified of any out-of-the-ordinary activity either seen or captured on home surveillance video recordings, and they especially want to hear from anyone who recognizes an individual based on the sketch.
