Police Unravel Mystery of Dead Serial Burglar

Two fancy watches tie a dead man to burglaries in Bucks County.

A man found dead behind houses on Alscot Lane in Middletown Township last Thursday was likely a serial burglar, according to a PhillyBurbs report.

Police have not released the man's name, but they used his tattoos to identify him and searched his car, where they found two "distinctive" watches that tie him to burglaries at homes near where his body was found.

The man died of a drug overdose.
