The Brookline Police Department has connected recent reported prowler incidents in that city to recent incidents in Boston, saying the two may be related.

Boston and Brookline police are asking the public to help identify men they say were involved in several “prowler incidents” in the two communities earlier this month.

Brookline Police think a prowler who was spotted in several backyards in Boston may be the same person who followed a woman while she was walking in Brookline.
