A burglar who didn’t let a little rain get in his way broke into a Harbor Gateway house last week, unaware he was caught on security video.

Los Angeles police detectives released the video today, hoping someone recognizes the man so they can take him to jail.

• Video: Footage shows burglar breaking into home

“We want a name to go with that face,” Harbor Division burglary Detective Thomas Baran said. “He is breaking into houses in the middle of the day. He needs to get caught.”

The crime occurred at 12:53 p.m. May 14 in the 22200 block of Denker Avenue. The ground was wet from showers during the day.

The burglar was captured on video climbing a tall wooden gate at the side of the house. He pried off a window screen and slipped through what apparently was an open window.

Five minutes later, another camera captured him leaving through the front door, pulling luggage on wheels behind him. He took jewelry the resident had on display in her bedroom, and electronics, Baran said.

The burglar appeared to be wearing a Los Angeles Dodgers cap, a dark jacket with something printed on the front, and large blue shorts that reached to his shins.

“You can see his face fairly clearly a few times,” Baran said. “Hopefully someone will recognize him and give us a name.”

Baran asked anyone with information about the man to contact him at 310-726-7845 or at 36364@lapd.lacity.org.
