Today there was one attempt on Calle De Oro, where screens were removed from a single story home, and another where the suspect kicked in a side garage door and was found inside the house when the homeowner returned. The suspect fled on foot and was picked up down the street by a woman driving a green or blue Ford Taurus sedan with tinted windows and a sticker on the rear window. There were two other stickers on the rear bumper.

The suspect was described as a heavyset Hispanic male with a shaved head approximately 6'0" and weighed approx. 270 lbs. He had tattoos visible on the upper chest and front of the neck.
