Brigantine police are looking for help identifying an attempted burglar.
Police were called to the 700 block of East Beach Avenue at about 2 p.m. Friday for a burglary in progress, police said.
A witness told officers that the man pictured arrived in a gray sedan approached the rear of an unoccupied residence and try to force the rear door open with a crowbar.
A witness confronted the man, who fled. While he was driving, he struck a telephone pole, which caused the grille of his vehicle to fall off, and it was left behind, according to the report.
Using the grille, police identified the vehicle as a Honda sedan. It’s believed to be a four-door vehicle with a Pennsylvania registration. It is now missing its grille and front bumper, which was believed to be missing prior to the accident.
