The burglar was wearing a green camouflage balaclava to cover his head and face, a black jacket, blue jeans, brown square-toed leather boots, gloves, and was carrying a black backpack,” MPD described in a statement obtained by

The crime was only discovered several hours later, around 7:50 a.m., by an employee. At the time, the business was undergoing interior renovations, which may have provided an opportunity for the theft to occur unnoticed, police said. The department has called for anyone with information about the crime to come forward, urging witnesses or those in the know to contact Detective Aaron Gonzalez at 629-201-5638, as noted by
