We had four cafeteria/deli’s broken into at four different office buildings the weekend of December 28th as outlined below. Investigators have been able to obtain photos and a short video of two what are being characterized as suspicious persons inside one of the office buildings the morning of 12-29-07. They were observed in a rear loading area where they are captured on tape looking at and pointing at a camera. They proceed to cover their faces and put up their hoods. At that point, they enter the back hallway where the door that was compromised in the burglary that occurred in that building is located. They were momentarily out of camera view, but after a short time, they exit that hallway and immediately leave the building. A still image of these subjects is attached. The short video is also available. Their presence and actions in the immediate vicinity of the attacked doorway, as well as their unexplained presence in the building during the time frame the burglary occurred has investigators looking for assistance in identifying them so they can be interviewed.
