Montgomery County police are investigating a recent burglary that occurred at a home under construction in the Layhill area, and detectives are releasing surveillance photos of one of the men in hopes a member of the public can identify him.

About 12:30 p.m. June 29, a white, Chevrolet van backed into the driveway at the construction site in the 13600 block of Soaring Wing Lane, a police statement said.

Witnesses saw two men exit the van, enter the home and steal bathroom and kitchen fixtures from the house, Wheaton District detectives said. The suspects put the stolen fixtures in the van and fled, police said.

Witnesses said the two men were in their mid-30s and one suspect had short, dark hair, police said.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect in the photograph or has information about this burglary is asked to contact the 4th District Investigative Section at 240-773-5530. Tipsters can also call Crime Solvers of Montgomery County toll-free at 1-866-411-TIPS (8477).
