“For unknown reasons, the suspect stopped in front of the location’s walk-up window and threw a large rock through the window, reached in and attempted to remove the monitor on the counter. Unable to do so, the suspect then picked up the rock from the counter and threw it through the shattered window again causing additional damage to the window and monitor,” the LAPD said in a press release.

During the investigation, LAPD detectives became aware of a commercial burglary/vandalism spree related to the suspect that began on August 22, 2022 around 7:25 p.m. The suspect started his burglary spree at the above location which continued up until a vandalism on August 30, 2022.
