Boston Police are asking for the public's help identifying someone connected to a breaking-and-entering case, and the detail that stands out most is what the person was wearing — or wasn't. According to police, the individual was last seen in a white shirt, black pants, and no shoes.

The department's District C-11 Detectives released the request Monday, seeking to identify the person in relation to the incident, according to a Boston Police Department community alert. Police said they are actively reviewing the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident, though they have not released additional details about what happened or who was involved. As reported by Boston 25 News, the incident happened at 4:40 a.m. on Sunday.

Beyond the clothing description and the time of the incident, little else about the case has been made public. Police have not said how the person is connected to the break-in or whether anyone has come forward with tips since the request went out.
