Family heirlooms and money were stolen during a brazen, day-time home invasion on the 2300 block of Stonebridge Drive in Pittsfield Township.
The break-in occurred around 12:47 p.m. on March 28.
The residents of the home were not home when security video captured the suspect ringing the doorbell before forcing his way through the apparently locked door.
"There have not been any similar incidents in the area recently," Pittsfield Deputy Chief of Police Patrick Gray said. "Our detectives are working on the case and we ask that anyone who recognizes the suspect or has additional information on the case contact the Pittsfield Township DPS Detective Bureau."
The Detective Bureau's confidential tip line is 734-822-4958. The general information line is 734-822-4911.
The victim posted a video and pictures of the incident on Facebook, noting that cherished heirlooms, passed down through generations, were stolen. Other valuables were taken.
The suspect, a stocky white male aged in his late 30s to 50, wore a dark hooded hoodie, and a dark baseball cap. He may have been driving a dark SUV.
Overcast, with a high of 77 and low of 57 degrees. Overcast for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
