Kent Police released the photo and description of 25-year-old Ross Bryde on Nov. 3.
A warrant was issued for Bryde’s arrest after he and a female partner were identified as suspects in a string of Kent-area burglaries.
The 26-year-old female suspect was arrested after Kent police released surveillance footage from a home the pair attempted to break into on Oct. 13 in Kent’s east hill neighborhood. The homeowner was home and scared the pair off. He described their ploy to police: the female knocked on the front door and, after getting no response, they both moved to the backyard in hopes of finding a way in.
“The tactics used by these burglars are not new nor sophisticated,” Kent Police Lt. Pat Lowery said. “However, they highlight the need for homeowners to stay alert to what is happening around their home and their neighborhood”.
Bryde is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall with a weight around 145 pounds. Anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts is encouraged to call 911.
