Fairfax County Police released a sketch of a male suspect believed to be responsible for multiple burglaries in the same Centreville neighborhood. In each case, he entered the homes through an unsecured door and was fully nude.

The suspect is described as a Black male, light or medium complexion, between 5’9” and 5’10” with an average build.

FCPD says the same suspect is responsible for four incidents. They occurred over the span of four days, from March 5 to 8. The Centreville homes are all within about a half-mile range of one another.

During three of the incidents, the suspect fled when confronted by victims inside the homes. There was evidence of an attempted burglary at the fourth residence.

Detectives are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect or may have information about the case to call the Sully District Station at 703-814-7000. Tips can also be submitted anonymously online or by phone at 1-866-411-8477.
