Authorities are looking for a burglary suspect they said was identified through DNA left on a beer can at a crime scene in 2005.

Prosecutors in Kitsap County have charged Curtis Kees Napoleon, a 20-year-old North Kitsap man, in thefts of over $30,000 in missing appliances, boat motors and other items that disappeared around Dec. 20, 2005 from four residences.

Deputies found a can of Miller Lite beer and later asked Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribal Police to request people of interest in the case to submit voluntary saliva samples.

The State Patrol Crime Lab eventually made a match, deputies said.

Kees is described as a Native American, 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighs approximately 130 pounds and has a medium build. He has black hair and brown eyes.

Police said that persons with additional information about the burglaries should contact Kitsap County Sheriff's Detectives at (360) 337-7111.
