Police search for 500-pound burglar

BOSTON, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- A Boston communications firm says someone broke into their offices in broad daylight and walked away with a 200-pound flat-screen television.

Company president George F. Regan Jr. says tape from the firm's surveillance system showed the burglar to be a giant of a man weighing hundreds of pounds, the Boston Globe reported Wednesday.

"I don't know how he could get up the stairs," said Regan. "He weighs like 500 pounds."

Regan said his firm, Regan Communications Group, installed security cameras at its Union Wharf offices after a series of burglaries.

He said he believes the man who broke in Sunday has been there before because of the way he easily navigated the offices.

The surveillance tapes have been turned over to Boston police.
