HOUSTON - Nearly a dozen homes have been burglarized in Meyerland in recent months and law enforcement officers have few clues.

Harris County Precinct 5 deputy constables hit the streets on Friday and try and turn up some leads.

They asked residents to call them if they see anything out of the ordinary.

"We got extra units in the area. We're doing all we can," said Chief J. J. Laine with Harris County Precinct 5.

"I'd hate to be on the receiving end of being robbed," resident Tim Ryan said.

The most recent burglary was on Tuesday. A burglar broke into Robert William's house and got away with most of his wife's jewelry.

"Certainly you feel violated and we're very fortunate they didn't hurt any of the pets and fortunate not anymore was done than what was done. But certainly, it's a feeling of being violated," Williams said.

Investigators found fingerprints at Williams' house and they have blood samples from another burglary in the neighborhood, but not much more than that.

They suspect the same person is responsible for all the break-ins because they all follow the same pattern.

"The method of making entry to the home is the same. A window or door in the back is broken out and they actually enter through the opening that they caused," Laine said.

And he gets in and out quickly, grabbing whatever he can carry.

The same method was used in recent burglaries in the Tanglewood subdivision as well. So a single arrest could clear a lot of cases, officials said.
