There’s a naked burglar on the prowl in Virginia, and police need help locating the stark-naked suspect.
Authorities over the weekend released a composite sketch of the man they say broke into four homes in Centreville wearing nothing but his birthday suit, according to a police statement.
Fairfax County police said they are interested in identifying the unclad man, so they can charge him with four counts of burglary as well as charge him with indecent exposure.
The burglar in the buff allegedly entered at least four Centreville homes over the course of the March 5 weekend.
During one of the reported incidents, the nude crook allegedly waltzed into a victim’s bedroom while the homeowner was awake and preparing for work.
The suspect ran away as soon as they were confronted, police said.
In a separate incident, a resident told investigators that they found a footprint on a trash can that had been moved up against a fence, which the naked suspect allegedly used to climb into the backyard. Police also reported finding signs that someone tried breaking into the home.
Another victim told police that they heard footsteps in their hallway, and when they went to check on the sound, saw the naked man standing in a doorway. He fled when the resident spotted him, according to a police statement.
Police said that it appears the suspect entered the residences through unsecured doors.
The suspect has been described as a Black male, with a light or medium complexion. He stands about 5-foot-10 and is described as having an average build.
Victims worked with a sketch artist to create the composite sketch cops issued over the weekend.
Detectives are asking people in the community to check their home or vehicle surveillance footage for any suspicious activity, particularly during the early morning hours between March 5 and March 8.
