The Akron Borough Police Department is investigating two residential burglaries that occurred in the last week.
The first occurred on Friday between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., in the first block of North Ninth Street. The second occurred on Tuesday between 9 and 10, a.m. in the first block of South Tenth Street.
Witnesses for both burglaries describe a white male in his late teens or early twenties, thin, wearing a dark hoodie or jacket and blue jeans, around 5 foot 9 inches tall as the suspect.
In both burglaries, witnesses say the suspect knocked on the door of the residence first to make sure nobody was home. Both homes were forcibly entered through a rear door.
Electronic equipment, jewelry and other items were taken from the homes. Anyone with information is asked to call Akron Borough Police at 859-6600.
