Top of the Hill attempted burglary suspect
Detectives need help identifying a suspect in an attempted burglary at the Top of the Hill Quality Produce two days before arson destroyed the building. The suspect was captured on video surveillance, arriving at the store just before 11 pm on Thursday, August 22, and not leaving for nearly an hour. The video shows him repeatedly going to his car, retrieving different burglary tools, and returning to the store. The store’s door and lock sustained significant damage, but the suspect could not enter the business.
The suspect vehicle is a 2006-2010 light-colored Jeep Grand Cherokee without a front license plate. The suspect is described as a white male with dark, possibly reddish-brown hair and a beard. He’s estimated to be between 25 and 35 years old.
Detectives have probable cause for attempted Burglary in the Second Degree. They would also like to speak with him about the arson on August 24 at 2:48 am.
