In the Belcourt community on Ford Road, an unknown suspect attempted to enter a home on Huntington Court while the victim was out of town between the evening of Dec. 27 and about 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 30, Newport Beach Police Department wrote in a message on Wednesday.
The suspect used a tool and pried open one of the back doors. The suspect went through closets, cabinets, storage areas in the garage and residence, as well as two unlocked vehicles in the garage. It’s unknown if anything was stolen.
On Thursday, police sent out a Nixle alert about another home burglary, this time at a home in the Big Canyon neighborhood.
