Police seek ID of suspect in 2 burglaries

STRUTHERS -- City police are working with Pennsylvania State Police to learn the identity of a man suspected of burglarizing two homes in the 300 block of Deer Creek Drive earlier this week.
Jewelry, cash, cameras, savings bonds and video games valued at more than $3,000 were reported stolen after residents arrived home Monday to find both houses open and ransacked, police reports state.
Neighbors reported seeing a suspicious man driving an olive-green Chevrolet Corvette convertible with Pennsylvania license plates that morning.
According to police, one witness saw the car parked in the driveway of one of the homes that was burglarized.
Another witness saw the car parked in the cul-de-sac on Eve Drive, and two others reported seeing a man unfamiliar to them walking in yards near homes in the neighborhood as well as in the woods bordering the properties. One of the neighbors even notified police after confronting the man, the report says.
He is described as a white man, about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 130 to 140 pounds with brown hair and wearing a checkered, button-down shirt and long pants.
A license plate number provided by one of the witnesses failed to identify the owner of the car, the report says, but officers provided Pennsylvania State Police with a description of the suspect and his car in the hope that they will be able to locate and identify him, said Detective Jeff Pantall.
