Mike Postovit / Global News

Kingston police are investigating three separate incidents in recent weeks that may be connected.

Police say they received an initial report two weeks ago from a homeowner in the 900 block of Pembridge Crescent. The homeowner reported that on May 13, at approximately 1:30 a.m. their dog started to growl at the patio door, which was off of the bedroom.

The resident then noticed a small red light, the size of a laser pointer without the dot, directed into the room from outside. When the homeowner turned on their bedroom light, they heard someone running off of their back deck.

The homeowner spoke to one of their neighbours about the early-morning incident, and learned that the neighbour had also experienced suspicious activity outside their patio door about two weeks earlier.
