A Houston-area burglar is wanted after he was caught on surveillance camera stealing surveillance cameras.

After cutting a lock and forcing his way into a Park South View storage facility on the afternoon of June 3, the unidentified man unwittingly turned into a silent film star when surveillance cameras caught him loading more than $67,000 worth of electronics into a 1990 white Chevy Silverado pickup.

The man loaded some of the items - which included surveillance cameras - into a stolen trailer before fleeing the scene in an unknown direction, according to Crime Stoppers.

The suspect is described as 25 to 35 years old, 5 feet 10 to 6 feet 1 inches tall and weighing 180 to 200 pounds. He was wearing a white muscle shirt, black jeans and black shoes at the time of the heist.

Crime Stoppers is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Tipsters can report information on the case by calling 713-222-TIPS (8477).
