Police say the man was driving a two-door silver-colored sedan.

Police released an image of the suspect which was taken from the home's security surveillance camera.

They say he is also believed to be responsible for a package theft in Trumbull. 

In a separate incident, police say another man was captured on a home surveillance camera in Dairen on Dec. 1, stealing a package from a house on Hollow Tree Ridge Road around 10 a.m.
