Allen police looking for man suspected in four burglaries
Staff Reports
Allen police are looking for a suspect in the burglaries of four businesses that took place Thursday night.
The suspect broke into each location by twisting off door locks, which a police alert said could have been done with a pair of vice grip pliers. In two of burglaries, the suspect pried open cash drawers and stole cash. In one of the robberies, he took a wall-mounted TV. In another, he stole the entire cash register.
A description of the suspect pulled from security footage by Allen PD describes him as a slender white male between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-9 in height with wire-rim glasses and a thin mustache. The suspect is believed to be between 40 and 50 years old. The suspect has a slight limp and used a cane for walking, favoring his right leg. He also has a very prominent nose, chin and jaw line. He was wearing blue jeans, black shoes, a two-toned stocking cap, a light-colored sweater and a large dark-colored winter coat with a collar and lapels. The suspect was driving a 1998 to 2003 Lexus RX300 SUV, black in color with grey under trim.
Each of the businesses burglarized by the suspect – Style America Salon, Bethany Pet Hospital, Terrell's Cleaners and TSW Nails – is located in a shopping center. Style America Salon and Bethany Pet Hospital are in the same shopping center at 1208 E. Bethany Drive, and TSW Nails is at 1505 W. McDermott Drive.
Terrell's Cleaners is in a shopping center at 206 N. Greenville Ave.
