Burglars got away with cash, laptop computers and other items.

Video at one home showed one of the burglars getting into an unlocked vehicle and rummaging through the front seat looking for items.

The burglar was wearing a hoodie and a backpack and appeared to be about 5-feet, 9-inches tall. He had a thin build and a goatee.

“Summertime quite often brings out burglars who go car-hopping in subdivisions,” said Sheriff Troy Nehls. “This is when an alarm comes in handy as well as making sure that vehicles in driveways are locked. Remember, do not leave items of value in vehicles. Cash, laptops, tablets and other electronic devices are what they’re looking for. Take all of that inside.”

Anyone who has information on this crime is asked to call Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers, Inc. at (281) 342-TIPS (8477).
