Police are searching for a burglar who enters homes in a very unique manner, burrowing through the walls of a house. The method avoids setting off alarm systems, which typically are attached to windows or doors.
Someone burglarized a home Jan. 8 in a subdivision of Kennesaw after entering the house through a rear wall.
"That's the first type of entry that I've seen of that method in this area," Kennesaw Police Detective Rick Shumpert said in a message to a homeowners association. "It's typically a break in a window or door."
Police believe the burglar peels back siding and burrows through the sheetrock with a tool such as a screwdriver. About a dozen similar burglaries have happened in unincorporated Cobb County and in nearby Acworth, Ga., police said.
There have been reports of a strange man being identified at the crime scenes. Suspect is described as an Asian Male of an indeterminate age, wearing a large white and blue helmet along with a similar jump suit. Suspect has been reported to be armed with both a reciprocating drill-shovel along with an Anti-Pooka Battle Air-Pump. Suspect has also been known to drop boulders on his victims.
