Cincinnati police are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect connected to a breaking-and-entering offense in the 200 block of Kemp Aly. District One investigators say they're still working to put a name to the person involved, and they're hoping someone in the community recognizes details about the case that haven't been made public.
According to a post from the Cincinnati Police Department
, investigators said they are attempting to identify a suspect involved with a breaking and entering offense that occurred in the 200 block of Kemp Aly. The department asked anyone with information about the incident, or who can identify the suspect, to contact Detective Bell.
How to Reach Investigators
Detective Bell can be reached directly at 513-352-3513, per the department's post. Tipsters who prefer to stay anonymous can instead call Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040, a separate line the department listed alongside the detective's contact information.
Beyond the location of the offense and the request for tips, the department's post did not include additional specifics. It's not clear when the breaking and entering took place, what, if anything, was taken or damaged, or whether the suspect has been described in any way.
What the Charge Could Mean
Breaking and entering is defined under Ohio law as Section 2911.13 of the Ohio Revised Code, though the department's post did not specify what charges, if any, investigators are pursuing in this particular case. No arrest has been confirmed in connection with the Kemp Alley investigation.
This is not the first time District One has turned to social media to track down a suspect. In a post last year, the department said it was investigating a burglary at 835 Poplar St. and asked for help identifying a pictured suspect, directing tips to Detective Bell at a different number, 513-352-3518, according to the department's post on X.
General Tip Line Guidance
For investigations listed on its press release page, the Cincinnati Police Department has said it urges anyone with information to call Police Dispatch at 513-765-1212 or Crime Stoppers, noting that callers may remain anonymous. The department has also cautioned that its social media pages are not monitored continuously, and that anyone facing an emergency should call 911 rather than wait for a response online.
