Police investigate home break-in on Overlook Drive
Suspects stole jewelry, electronics, a car, and ice cream
TEWKSBURY >> Police are asking for the public’s assistance as they investigate a breaking and entering that took place at home on Overlook Drive the early morning after Christmas Day.
The Tewksbury Police said they need help identifying three suspects who stole a number of valuable items, including jewelry and electronics, as well as a vehicle — a black Mazda Miata with Massachusetts license plate RS3332 — from the driveway. According to the police, the suspects even helped themselves to ice cream from the home’s refrigerator.
The residents were not home at the time of the break-in.
The suspects appear to have been inside the residence from about 12:20 to 7:20 a.m. Tuesday. Police said an investigation determined the suspects gained entry through a groundlevel window by removing an air conditioner. The three suspects were captured in several surveillance videos set up inside the home. One of the suspects is also seen in a surveillance video passing a residence on Kendall Road on Christmas, at about 9:30 p.m.
Police have made the surveillance footage public.
In the footage, you can hear the suspects talking to each other as they walk around what appears to be the home’s basement, discussing items to steal.
“So we can steal all that (expletive). Understand?” a masked suspect can be heard saying to another suspect while rummaging around. “Is this the kind of (expletive) you were talking about? The heaters, the water heaters?”
Police described the first suspect as a white male, wearing black gloves, a winter jacket, a ski mask, sweat pants with white stripes on the sides, black shoes and
glasses.
The second suspect is described as a white male wearing a camouflage winter jacket, a ski mask, sweat pants and black shoes.
The third suspect is described as a white male wearing a winter jacket, ski mask, sweatpants with white stripes on the side, light-colored sneakers, and light colored gloves.
