NBPD Release New Details on Shore Cliffs Burglary

The Newport Beach Police Department today issued a description of a suspected burglar who broke into a Shore Cliffs home in the middle of the day on March 31.

The burglar entered the home in the 100 block of Shorecliff Road through an open window between 1:45 and 2:04 p.m. and stole a laptop and gift cards, according to a police Nixle alert sent today.

A surveillance camera on the property captured images of the man and showed him coming out of the window holding a white bag, police said.

The man was wearing dark clothing and a black baseball cap with white letters that spelled “DC.” He was seen driving a black vehicle visible in one of the photos.

The week of that burglary, two other crimes occurred in the Shore Cliffs neighborhood, including a theft from an unlocked vehicle and a stolen car; read our story here.

Police ask anyone with information about the suspect, or any other suspicious activity, to call them at (949) 644-3717.

The Nixle alert also included safety tips including closing and locking all doors and windows; using a deadbolt on all exterior doors; activate alarms if you have an alarm system; using a timer to turn interior and exterior lights off and on; asking a trusted friend or neighbor to check your home when on vacation, or sign up for a vacation check by police volunteers on the police website.
