Police said video of the incident showed that the suspect also tried to enter several parked vehicles.
"This is an escalation from the car larcenies we have been seeing over the last two years," police said. "It is extremely important that our residents make a conscious effort to lock up their property, whether it is their residence or their vehicles."
