On November 16, 2020, at approximately 3:13 AM, a vehicle break-in and theft occurred in the 5600 block of Alturas Drive. The suspect was seen on the victim’s home security camera footage standing on the rear driver side tire while opening the tool box in the truck bed and stealing tools. 

Taking two trips the suspect stole tools from the victim's truck, then left quickly in his vehicle. The suspect then returned approximately 4 minutes later, climbed into the bed of the truck, and took more tools valued over $1,300.
