HOUSTON – A surveillance video of a serial burglar targeting homes in the Montrose area has been released to the public in hopes that someone will recognize him, according to the Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office.
The burglar usually climbs through windows of homes during the daytime or forces windows open and smashes the glass. Once inside, he searches for jewelry in hopes of selling it at pawn shops.
In one burglary case, officials said a gold high school ring from 1941 was stolen.
During Friday’s news conference, investigators identified the burglar as Bobby John Henry, who is currently still on the run.
Investigators are warning homeowners to keep their doors and windows locked. They also recommend trimming bushes near windows and doors so burglars cannot conceal themselves.
If you have security cameras, investigators say to make sure they are working and aimed in the right direction.
