The man, who has prior convictions for property crimes, was found in the storage area of a building after placing paper markers on the locks of several residences to monitor residents' presence.

A call from a neighbor alerted officers when they noticed suspicious papers on the locks of two apartments. Responding officers initially confirmed two locks had been tampered with, but a subsequent inspection revealed that six locks in the building had been manipulated.

Police resources searched the entire building down to the storage floor, where they located a man not belonging to the community who aroused their suspicions. A body search yielded paper scraps identical to those found on the locks, along with a small stick presumably used to insert the markers.

Based on these findings, the man, who has a record of property offenses, was arrested for attempted burglary. He was taken to police headquarters and later presented before a judge.
