Burglary suspect had tools, math homework at Sugar Land car dealership

Police are searching for a burglary suspect who left behind a crowbar, a backpack full of tools and math homework earlier this year at a car dealership in Sugar Land.

The incident happened about 11 a.m. Sept. 4 at Classic Chevrolet at 13115 Southwest Freeway, according to the Sugar Land Police Department.

Police said an off-duty officer was working an extra job at the dealership when he heard a noise inside the building. When he investigated, he spotted a man holding a crowbar near the finance office. The man dropped the crowbar when the officer told him to drop it, but then ran away.

The officer chased the man out of the building until he lost sight of him. Surveillance video shows the man running from the building and then speeding away in a white, four-door vehicle with a sun roof that was driven by another person.

As the officer looked through the building, he saw an exterior door had been damaged and found a backpack on the floor near the finance office. Inside the backpack were pry bars, gloves, a mallet, bolt cutters, cutting blades and three pieces of paper that appeared to be math homework.

Nothing appeared to have been taken from the business.

The suspect is described as being black and thin. He was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and wore a purple hoodie, a neon yellow construction vest, white shorts and black-and-white shoes.

No description of the getaway driver was available.
