RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond police shared video of a person they said has been breaking into homes in the middle of the night and stealing things.

The crimes have been reported in several Richmond communities, including the Museum District and Windsor Farms.

Police said the suspect wears dark clothing and a face mask.

He enters through a door, uses a flashlight to find and steal items, and then walks away.

“We are asking the public to please lock their windows and doors during the overnight hours,” Third Precinct Captain Angela Smith said. “If you see anyone suspicious in your neighborhood, please call 911. For those with security systems, we recommend that you activate them at night.”

Due to the camera settings, the clothing of the suspect appears bright in the photos and video, but it is a dark color or black.
