Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man who was caught on security videos trying to get into houses in north-central Westland last month.

The incidents occurred during the early morning hours of Nov. 8, police said. One video shows the man trying to open the front door of a house in the 34000 block of Parkgrove Drive; another shows him at a nearby house, attempting to remove a window screen. He was scared off by someone inside that house.

Police described the man as approximately 18 years old, between 5 feet, 10 inches, and 6 feet tall with a thin build, a mustache and a goatee.

Anyone with information about the man is asked to call 734-467-3179.
