A burglar entered an apartment in Pierrefonds on March 14 and stole a laptop computer while the tenant and his girlfriend slept.
The suspect climbed onto the garage roof of the apartment building near the corner of Gouin Boulevard and René-Émard Street.
He then shimmied up to the victim’s balcony, Montreal police Const. Daniel Maheu said.
The suspect was then able to gain access to the apartment through a balcony door, which had a broken lock, some time between 1:30 a.m. and 8:50 a.m.
