Authorities advised the public Wednesday to beware of a prowler who has been sneaking into homes lately in northern Carlsbad.
The man has been spotted peering into three residences on Garfield and Jefferson streets over the last two weeks, according to police. In two of the cases, he entered the homes through unlocked windows, then fled when confronted by alarmed residents, said Lt. Greg Koran.

Outside of peeping and trespassing, the intruder apparently committed no crimes at the homes.
Detectives are looking into whether several similar incidents that occurred in the city earlier this summer are related to the recent series, the lieutenant said.
Police have disseminated an artist’s rendering of the prowler but have released no detailed description of him.
A community meeting about the case is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday at the Carlsbad Senior Center, 799 Pine Ave.
