On Oct. 6 at around 12:45 a.m., an unknown man entered the Holiday Inn at 20 Freeport Place N.E. behind a group of registered guests while the door was unlocked.
He then snuck into the hotel’s maintenance room and stole a master key, which he used to enter several rooms while the occupants were asleep and then proceeded to steal the victims’ belongings.
