LINDALE, Texas — The Smith County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) is asking the public for help in identifying a suspect involved in a recent rash of home burglaries in the Lindale area.
According to the SCSO, the suspect has been entering into unlocked residences during the nighttime hours. During these burglaries, the homeowners have been asleep while the suspect took valuable items from their homes.
On one occasion, officials say the suspect removed an alcoholic beverage from a refrigerator.

The suspect is described as a white man, possibly 18 to 30 years of age, about 5’8” to 6’0”, slender build with short hair.
