Boulder police are investigating two residential burglaries in the University Hill area that may have been committed by the same person.

In both burglaries a suspect took laptops, and witnesses provided similar descriptions of the suspect.

The first burglary occurred on May 11 in the 900 block of University Avenue around 1:37 a.m. Two male roommates and a friend were home when one of them saw a man enter a bedroom from the outside and heard glass shattering. When they checked the room, a laptop was missing.

In the second case, a woman was moving out of her apartment in the 100 block of 12th Street on May 14 at 5:25 p.m. As she was walking to her car with some boxes she noticed a man going up the stairs to her building.

In the first case he was seen wearing a pink, pin-stripe shirt with long-sleeves. In the second case he was seen wearing tan cargo shorts, sneakers and a white or light-gray shirt with multi-color writing.
