The most recent burglaries occurred at 800 block of Ackerman Avenue, 700 block of Livingston Avenue, 700 block of Lancaster Avenue, 800 block of Clarendon Street and 1200 block of Madison Street. The email did not specify the date on which these burglaries occurred but said they occurred between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m.

The email described the two suspects as male, wearing dark clothing and approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall. There were no signs of forced entry in the above incidents, according to the email.
