San Francisco police are searching for a man who broke into an office building in the South of Market area earlier this month and made off with thousands of dollars in computer equipment, authorities announced Sunday.

Just after 4 a.m. on Oct. 6, the man used a glass punch to shatter the door of an office on the 600 block of Harrison Street, said Officer Carlos Manfredi, a police spokesman.

Surveillance video showed the burglar ransacking the place and making off more than $2,400 worth of laptop computers and chargers, Manfredi said.

Police described the man as 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighing roughly 150 pounds with brown hair. In the video, he can be seen wearing a backward gray hat with a maroon bill, a black hooded sweatshirt possibly with the word “gold” across the front, black pants and carrying a black backpack.

Anyone who recognizes the thief can contact police using their anonymous tip line at (415) 575-4444.
