Residents threatened with gun after interrupting predawn burglary, police report says

Ashland police are looking for the public’s help identifying a burglar interrupted in the act of taking a TV set from a home in the 300 block of Engle Street before dawn Wednesday, according to a post on the Ashland Police Department Facebook page.

Officers responding to the home just east of Clay Street and just west of YMCA Park at 5:30 a.m. were told residents confronted the suspect, who proceeded to pull out a handgun and use it to menace the residents, according to the police report.

The suspect fled without any stolen property. He’s described as a white male adult, 5 foot, 4 to 6 inches in height, weighing about 125 pounds with light-colored eyes. He’s described as wearing dark clothing, a gaiter-style face covering and a beanie-style hat.

He’s believed to be associated with the vehicle shown in the photos seen here, which was driven by someone else.

Anyone with any information about the suspect or vehicle is asked to call the Ashland Police Department at 541-482-5211, or its anonymous tip line at 541-552-2333, or email [email protected].
