“He’s in the building for 45 minutes, just picking and choosing what he wants. It’s unheard of these days. Usually thefts happen quickly,” said Detective Chris Carlisle.
In other crimes on May 5 and May 10, two men are seen breaking into Discount Electronics at 1011 E. Anderson Lane. They get away with computers and laptops. Detectives say the video is good. It shows one of the men walking downstairs carrying electronics. Chris Carlisle says this time the store had surveillance video and an alarm system, but the crooks got away in less than 50 seconds.
“We need your help. If you see this video and recognize these guys or have any information, call the APD Burglary Unit, 911 or 311,” said Carlisle.
