Rye police are asking for the public’s help in finding a man suspected of trying to break in a number of cars plus a home.

Police say surveillance cameras captured the man Wednesday morning trying to break into parked vehicles and attempt to open the back door of a Horton Street home.

The city has seen at least 71 unlocked cars stolen from people's driveways in a five-month period this year.

Police say the man trying to enter a house is an escalation to the crimes and an important reminder to lock cars and houses.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at (914) 967-1234
