PITTSBURGH — It’s a quiet block in Lawrenceville where homes fill every corner, a safe place, or so Maggie Walker thought.
“It’s a very unsettling feeling to know somebody was in your house especially talking to neighbors that something like this doesn’t happen on this street or in this neighborhood,” Walker said.
Her home on Fisk Street was just one of four hit by a burglar earlier this month.
“Me and my boyfriend were actually at home sleeping we came downstairs in the morning and realized our back door was open actually ajar and we realized someone had been in our house and our back screen window was broken,” Walker said.
It’s the same story for the other three places on Arsenal Place up the road. All the homeowners inside sleeping around 4 a.m. when a man made his way in. Another victim telling Channel 11, the suspect climbed through the first-floor window stealing car keys, credit cards, cash and even two guns from the neighborhood.
“Thankfully for us nothing was taken we had heard they were looking for car keys but ours luckily weren’t in sight,” Walker said.
Police confirmed the suspect even used those car keys, moving some cars up and down the block even switching license plates between the neighbors cars.
But now police are releasing photos of a suspect asking you to take a good look and see if you recognize him.
The victims are hopeful that police are making progress in the case, at home they are taking extra steps to be safe.
“We have cameras now we are changing our locks all of those things,” Walker said.
If you recognize the suspect in the photos, you are asked to call the city’s burglary squad at 412-323-7155.
