Lincoln police have released a picture of a man suspected of stealing items from at least three garages in the Minuteman Commons condominium complex on Virginia Road and are asking the public to help identify him.

During the day on Friday, July 20, police received reports from three residences that bicycles and golf clubs had been stolen from garages. Police Chief Kevin Kennedy said the break-ins most likely occurred in the late evening or during overnight hours. Anyone who recognizes the person should call the non-emergency police line at 781-259-8113.

Kennedy would not say how the image was acquired, though it appears to be from a camera inside a closed garage. The man is white, has a light brown beard, and is heavily tattooed on his left arm and hand.

There have been no reports of break-ins in nearby areas in Lincoln or Concord, Kennedy said. However, because it’s summer time, “there could be other [burglaries] where people could be away and haven’t noticed,” he added.

Minuteman Commons is a 55+ community with 32 units close to Hanscom Field.
