The Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office is seeking a person of interest in a recent burglary in the southern part of the county.

Surveillance video and stills from the burglary were released by the sheriff's office. The man they are looking for is black and was wearing a leather jacket, prescription eyeglasses, a baseball hat and may have had an earring in his left ear.

Numerous burglaries have occurred over the past two months in the unincorporated areas of Sedgwick County, but it's unclear if this man may be connected to others.

Sedgwick county investigators say in just the last 30 days, there have been 22 burglaries in the county's rural areas. 11 of those were in the just the last two weeks, five of them on Tuesday alone.

Anyone observing suspicious people or vehicles in rural areas is asked to call 911. If you have information on a burglary that has already occurred, call sheriff investigations at (316) 660-5300 or Crime Stoppers at (316) 267-2111.
