Security footage from the business shows the suspect getting through the fence and checking for unlocked vehicles in the lot. The suspect is then seen gaining access to a garage on the property, leading investigators to believe the person found a garage door opener in an unlocked vehicle, Schueller said.

Schueller said the subject made off with $3,000 worth of hand tools and inflicted an estimated $3,200 of damage when they cut through the fence. If caught, the suspect is expected to be charged with 3rd-degree burglary, 4th-degree damage to property and felony theft, said Schueller.
