ByAn attempted break-in was captured on surveillance video at a small business in Vernon, where the suspect was seen smashing a glass door with a large rock."They just threw it through the glass and pretty much left it there for us to find," said owner Diana Rodriguez.
The video shows the suspect, who was seen wearing a hoodie, on a scooter outside the business. After he couldn't open the door, he moves near a bush where he picks up the rock, hiding it in his sweatshirt. He then throws it at the door and starts kicking through the glass.
"There's no cash register or anything like that. There's heavy machinery that even if they try to take out, they can't," said Rodriguez. There are five cameras inside and outside of the warehouse. As soon at the glass shattered, the alarm system notified the owners. When the alarm system went off, the suspect takes off and about two minutes later, a black Honda with covered plates pulls into the driveway, stays for a moment, then drives away. The owners have since filed a police report but the suspect remains at large."Hopefully, they can catch the guy or the people that are going around doing this," she said.Copyright © 2024 KABC Television, LLC.
