Livonia hazmat suit suspect attempts to enter Newburgh home, leading to police search
A suspect dressed in a hazmat suit was caught on camera Wednesday in Livonia attempting to enter a home.
"Now hearing if this is the same individual, hearing that he has now threatened he will shoot somebody," said the homeowner. "It’s either he’s scared somebody else will fight back or he’s going to escalate and somebody is going to really get hurt if he isn’t caught soon. Selfishly, I was a little relieved that I wasn’t home. That was obviously a fear — like, I saw you and stood in front of you, and you heard me call the police and told them to come get you."
What's next:
Police are actively investigating the case, and neighbors say both times they had very quick response times.
If you have any information, give Livonia police a call.
