A man forced his way into a home in north Fort Worth and sprayed the family pet with mace before stealing property, police said on social media on Friday.

The department put out a call to the public for help identifying the man, sharing a few images from security video. He can be seen walking on a sidewalk in jeans and a red and black sweatshirt, pushing a green mountain bike next to him. He appears to be tall and bald, and he’s wearing glasses.

The incident occurred on April 8, when the man burglarized the residence in the 7000 block of Los Padres Trail, police said in a news release.

Police mentioned the burglar maced the pet. It wasn’t clear if anyone was home at the time.

The man left the scene on a green mountain bike, police said, and was seen carrying a small blue bag.

Anyone who recognizes the man is asked to call 817-392-3148.

  • U.S. Supreme Court hands victory to immigrants facing deportation

    (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday offered new hope to thousands of long-term immigrants seeking to avoid deportation in a ruling that faulted the federal government for improperly notifying a man who came to the United States illegally from Guatemala to appear for a removal hearing. The justices, in a 6-3 decision that divided the high court's conservative bloc, overturned a lower court's decision that had prevented Agusto Niz-Chavez from pursuing his request to cancel the attempted expulsion based on the length of time he had lived in the United States. The justices decided that federal immigration law requires authorities to include all relevant details for a notice to appear for a hearing in one document rather than sending the information across multiple documents.
