The Sacramento Police Department seeks the community's help in identifying a man who burglarized a home in the North Natomas area last week.
A man broke into a residence in the 5400 block of Duckwalk Way about 11:30 a.m. Aug. 31. No one was home at the time. But as the man was leaving the house with some property, the homeowner arrived and confronted him, according to a Police Department news release.
The man ran to a waiting vehicle. The victim chased him but was unable to catch the man before he jumped into the vehicle and fled.
The suspect was described as black, 25 to 35 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall with a stocky building and weighing about 200 pounds. He had a short black afro-style haircut and a scruffy beard, and was wearing a black jacket, white T-shirt and black cargo shorts.
The vehicle was described as a late 1980s or early '90s white Toyota pickup. The first part of the license plate number is "4N72."
Police ask anyone with information about the crime to call Crime Alert at (916) 443-4357, or text a tip to 274637. Enter SACTIP followed by the tip information. Callers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.
