Upon arrival, officers spoke with the reporting party, who stated that the individual, identified as BUSTER, broke into the apartment on Dawn Road and proceeded to break multiple items in the home. It was reported that BUSTER also smashed the reporting party’s car windshield with a vacuum and fled the scene.  

BUSTER is known to the reporting party. He was described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing 120 pounds, wearing a black hoodie and blue jeans. He was said to have brown hair and facial hair.

“This was great work by our officers and our drone unit in locating a dangerous individual,” said Chief Troiano.
