Mesquite police took to social media today, sharing a surveillance image and asking residents to help identify a person they say is connected to multiple burglaries in the city. Investigators said the same individual is believed to have been involved in at least two break-ins and urged anyone who recognizes him to contact authorities. The department also shared direct contact details for the detective handling the case.

Photo Ties Suspect To Two Burglaries

The Mesquite Police Department said the person pictured is believed to be tied to burglaries on Nov. 25 and Dec. 12, 2025, including one reported on the 5600 block of Northwest Highway. The post includes surveillance images officers hope will help someone put a name to the face. Investigators said tips could help them match the person in the photos to property taken during the incidents.

How To Help

Residents with information are asked to call the Mesquite Police non-emergency line or use the city's online resources to report tips, according to the City of Mesquite. The municipal site lists the department's contact numbers and lays out how to submit non-urgent reports. Police say that if you have video or photos, including them with a tip can be especially useful.

The department asked that tips on this case be sent to Investigator Parker at [email protected] or by calling 972-216-6712, according to the Mesquite Police Department. Officers told followers they will review any leads and follow up as needed. Anyone who believes they were the victim of a related burglary is advised to contact the records to request a case number.

Local Context

Mesquite police frequently turn to social media to crowdsource information in property cases; for example, a similar appeal last spring highlighted another suspect search. Regional outlets have also followed recent suspicious-person and burglary reports, including coverage by FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth. Police say community tips are often crucial in closing property-crime investigations.
