The modus operandi of yesterday's burglar mirrored the crime spree that shook first-year residents in October.
In those robberies, police arrested Andre Stuckey, 20, formerly of Long Beach, Calif. Police describe Stuckey as a 5-foot 10-inch, 160 pound, light-skinned black male with a shaved head.
When questioned yesterday, police refused to link the robberies to Stuckey.
"The investigation is just beginning," McNamara said.
Stuckey, who had been held for $50,000 bail, was released from jail following a court appearance Wednesday.
