South Detectives released this photo of 49-year-old Devon Powell Feb. 26, announcing they have obtained an arrest warrant after identifying him as the individual responsible for committing various commercial burglaries. Authorities, who noted Powell also has outstanding warrants for similar incidents in Yeadon, believe he may be homeless and prone to substance abuse. They caught his image on surveillance video after his supposed burglary of an Old City eatery last month.
They believe Powell, whom they know to operate a dark mountain bike, is responsible for burglaries on the following dates, times and location, each involving the heaving of a brick through a glass window to gain access: Jan. 12 5:11 a.m. at Hawthorne’s Restaurant, 738 S. 11th St.; Feb. 1 6:11 a.m. at 19 Degrees Cafe, 1847 S. 19th St.; Feb. 9 11:41 p.m. at Randazzo’s Pizza, 1826 South St.; Feb. 17 1:26 a.m. at Santucci’s Pizza, 901 S. 10th St., 6:10 a.m. at Bainbridge Street Barrel House, 625-27 S.
