An unknown suspect broke into a house on 3600 T St. early Thursday morning and stole jewelry, cash, a laptop and other personal items, according to a Public Safety Alert released Thursday evening. The house is not occupied by Georgetown students.

The suspect entered through a window left open on the ground floor of the house. The Metropolitan Police Department’s Lt. Victor Braschnewitz wrote that while it was a burglary, the residents were partly responsible, in an email to the Burleith listserv.

“Note that the method of entry in this burglary is consistent with recent burglaries in the upper end of the Second District. I would like to reissue a warning to those of you who may not feel the need to close your ground level windows at night to please take heed and reconsider your safeguarding standards,” Braschnewitz said.

This is the second burglary in Burleith in three weeks. On Aug. 30, a suspect broke into a house on the 3800 block of S Street and sexually assaulted a sleeping female.”
