Window Burglar Hits Rittenhouse Home

The Philadelphia Police Department is looking to the public for help identifying a man who crawled into a Rittenhouse home through a window and made off with several items.

Surveillance video captured the man about 10 p.m. on June 13, pacing up and down the 1700 block of Lombard Street, and then attempting to open the window of a private home.

About 15 minutes later, on the fourth try, he wedges the window open and hoists himself into the home.

The man made off with items valued at $3000 from the house, the Philadelphia Police Department said in a press release.

The Philadelphia Police Department described the man as between 35 to 45 years old, thin build, receding hair line, mustache and beard. He is approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall.
