Boston Police Release Sketch Of Suspect Who Watched Woman Sleep

BOSTON — The Boston Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a man behind a disturbing breaking and entering that happened just before 4 a.m. on Bellvista Road in Brighton Tuesday.

A woman who asked her name not to be revealed told police she woke up to find a man she didn't know standing in her bedroom, watching her sleep. Brighton police believe this man is linked to a number of suspicious incidents in the Allston and Brighton area.

The woman told officers the man immediately took off once she screamed. Boston police said they did not find any sign of forced entry but did observe a chair from the patio area was moved and re-positioned beneath a bedroom window.

The suspect was described by the woman as a white male, with a slim build, standing about 5'6", wearing a dark fleece sweater and dark-colored jeans. She also added that she had observed a suspicious male standing on her fire escape attempting to peer through her window at the same address about a month ago.

Investigators are aware of two incidents that occurred prior to this incident where an unknown male suspect was observed lurking on the fire escapes of buildings at about 11:55 PM on March 14, 2022, in the area of 1412 Commonwealth Avenue and at about 12:25 AM on March 15, 2022, in the area of 6 Camelot Court in Brighton.

Anyone with information is urged to contact D-14 Detectives at 617-343-4256.
