Law enforcement officials are on the lookout for a man suspected of a pair of attempted burglaries in downtown Felton on the evening of Wednesday, April 23.
At approximately 8:55 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a prowler who attempted to make entry into a residence located in the area of Russell Avenue and Gushee Street in Felton.
The suspect was described as a white male, approximately 35 to 40 years of age, between 5’8’’ and 5’10’’ in height, wearing blue jeans and white t-shirt with shoulder length blonde hair.
Approximately 20 minutes later, at 9:15 p.m., deputies received another report of a residential burglary on the 100 block of Redwood Drive.
According to reports, a man entered the residence. Once inside, the man removed a two-year-old female from her crib. The child alerted her mother of the intruder, at which time the suspect fled the residence. The child was unharmed.
