I couldn't sleep for several nights after," the anonymous victim said. This is just one of three homes on Ballymore and Candlelight Drive that the suspect broke into, gaining access from a garage door opener found in a car, according to police. "Whatever is the easiest way to get into a vehicle, to get into a residence, is what they take," said Seth Hoffman with Howard County Police Department. The suspect is seen in a video attempting to open several other car doors, which were locked. Clarksville/Dayton residential burglary suspect RECOGNIZE THIS SUSPECT?
